Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᗰ has the Unicode code point U+15F0. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+15F0 to binary:
00010101 11110000
. 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 10110000

Description
The Unicode character U+15F0 is known as the "CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER GO" and it plays a significant role in digital text within the realm of Canadian Aboriginal syllabics. This character serves as a carrier for the syllabic symbols in the Inuit, Cree, Ojibwe, and other First Nations languages of Canada. It is used to combine a base glyph with a consonant or tone-bearing component in a syllabic writing system. The CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER GO character is essential for maintaining accuracy and consistency in the representation of these languages, enabling effective communication and preservation of Indigenous culture and heritage.
