Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᗙ has the Unicode code point U+15D9. 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+15D9 to binary:
00010101 11011001. 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 10011001

Description
U+15D9 (CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER HWEE) is a typographical character from the Unicode standard, specifically within the "Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics" block. This character serves as a carrier for the ᖯ (HWEE) syllable in Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics, which is an alphabet used to write several First Nations languages of Canada, such as Cree, Ojibwe, and Inuktitut. The Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics were developed by missionaries and educators in the 1940s, with the goal of creating a writing system that could be easily learned and used by Indigenous communities. Each character in this script represents either a consonant or a consonant-syllable combination, with U+15D9 specifically acting as a carrier for the HWEE syllable. In digital text, the U+15D9 character is crucial for maintaining linguistic accuracy and preserving the integrity of written communication in these Indigenous languages.
