Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᗳ has the Unicode code point U+15F3. 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+15F3 to binary:
00010101 11110011. 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 10110011

Description
U+15F3, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER GI, is a character primarily used in digital text to represent the carrier form of Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics in their Gi-series. This character serves as a non-spacing marker that enables the representation and composition of individual syllables within the Inuit, Mi'kmaq, Cree, Ojibwe, and other First Nations languages of Canada. Its role is crucial in digital text processing, especially in applications designed for indigenous language support and in the development of electronic resources for Canadian Aboriginal communities. The character is part of the Unicode Standard, which aims to provide a unique code point for every character, symbol, or emoji used across different languages and platforms, promoting global communication and cultural preservation.
