Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᗚ has the Unicode code point U+15DA. 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+15DA to binary:
00010101 11011010. 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 10011010

Description
The Unicode character U+15DA represents the "CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER HWI" (HWI). In digital text, this character is used as a carrier for the following Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics: ᐹ (h), ᐺ (w), and ᐻ (i). The Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics are a set of writing systems developed from the Latin alphabet to represent the various languages spoken by Indigenous peoples in Canada. These characters allow for the accurate representation of these languages in digital platforms, ensuring preservation of linguistic and cultural heritage. U+15DA plays a crucial role in facilitating communication among speakers of these languages and enabling the promotion and revitalization of Indigenous cultures.
