Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᗈ has the Unicode code point U+15C8. 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+15C8 to binary:
00010101 11001000. 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 10001000

Description
The Unicode character U+15C8, known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER GHI, plays a significant role in the digital representation of the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics writing system. This writing system is primarily used among the Indigenous peoples of Canada, particularly in the regions where Cree, Ojibwe, Inuktitut, and other languages are predominantly spoken. The character serves as a carrier for three individual syllabic characters - G, H, and I - which together represent distinct phonetic values within these languages. By using U+15C8 in digital text, it allows for the accurate and consistent encoding of syllabic structures that are essential to preserving and promoting Indigenous linguistic heritage in the digital realm.
