Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᗘ has the Unicode code point U+15D8. 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+15D8 to binary:
00010101 11011000. 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 10011000

Description
U+15D8, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER HWE, is a character within the Unicode standard that serves as a carrier for Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics. This character is instrumental in digital text encoding and is primarily used to represent various syllables in the Inuit, First Nations, and Métis languages of Canada. It plays a crucial role in preserving and promoting Indigenous cultures by enabling the accurate representation of these distinct languages online and in digital communication. While its direct usage might be less common due to its carrier function, U+15D8 is an essential component in the broader context of Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics and contributes significantly to linguistic diversity, cultural preservation, and digital inclusion for Indigenous communities in Canada.
