Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᗖ has the Unicode code point U+15D6. 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+15D6 to binary:
00010101 11010110. 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 10010110

Description
U+15D6, known as the CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER HWU, is a character in the Unicode standard that plays a significant role in digital text. This specific character serves as a carrier for combining Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics characters, enabling them to be displayed and used correctly on various electronic platforms. The use of this character is crucial within the context of Canadian Indigenous languages, such as Cree, Inuktitut, Ojibwe, and others, which rely heavily on syllabic writing systems. These languages have a rich history and cultural significance, with many communities still using them today for communication, education, and preservation of their heritage. The CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER HWU allows for the accurate representation of these important languages in digital text, supporting linguistic diversity and cultural identity in an increasingly connected world.
