Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᗗ has the Unicode code point U+15D7. 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+15D7 to binary:
00010101 11010111. 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 10010111

Description
The Unicode character U+15D7, known as the Canadian Syllabics Carrier HWO, is a crucial element within the field of digital text encoding, specifically in the representation of Indigenous languages in Canada. This character serves as a carrier unit for the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, which comprises a set of 12 characters that include both vowels and consonants. The role of this character is to provide a means of representing these syllabic elements effectively in digital environments. The Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics system is an alphasyllabary primarily used for writing the Cree, Ojibwe, Inuktitut, and other Indigenous languages of Canada. Each syllabic character represents a syllable or a phoneme, which is significant in these languages, as they generally follow a syllabic stress pattern rather than a phonemic one. The usage of U+15D7, along with the other 11 characters in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, is a testament to the ongoing efforts to preserve and promote Indigenous languages through the use of digital technology. In conclusion, U+15D7, or the Canadian Syllabics Carrier HWO, plays a vital role in facilitating accurate digital representation of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics, which is crucial for preserving and promoting the rich linguistic heritage of Indigenous communities across Canada.
