Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᗇ has the Unicode code point U+15C7. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format:1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx
Where thexare the payload bits.UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range Codepoint Range Bytes Bit pattern Payload length U+0000 - U+007F 1 0xxxxxxx 7 bits U+0080 - U+07FF 2 110xxxxx 10xxxxxx 11 bits U+0800 - U+FFFF 3 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 16 bits U+10000 - U+10FFFF 4 11110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 21 bits Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:
Convert the hexadecimal code point U+15C7 to binary:
00010101 11000111. Those are the payload bits.Step 3: Fill in the bits to match the bit pattern:
Obtain the final bytes by arranging the paylod bits to match the bit layout:
11100001 10010111 10000111

Description
The Unicode character U+15C7, known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER GHEE, holds a significant position in the digital text sphere. Primarily used in the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics script, this character serves as a carrier glyph for other characters within the syllabic system. Its role is essential for encoding and decoding of texts written using these scripts, which are vital to preserving and transmitting Indigenous languages in Canada. The syllabic script was developed by missionaries like James Evans and George J. Black to create a writing system for the Cree language in the early 19th century. Since then, the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics have expanded to encompass several other Indigenous languages of North America, including Ojibwe, Inuktitut, Michif, and others. U+15C7 is a critical element of this script and helps maintain the linguistic heritage of these communities, promoting cultural preservation and language revitalization efforts.
