Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᗺ has the Unicode code point U+15FA. 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+15FA to binary:
00010101 11111010. 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 10111010

Description
The Unicode character U+15FA, known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER KHA, plays a vital role in the representation of Canadian Aboriginal languages. This specific code point is used to signify the phonetic component of these languages, which are primarily spoken by Indigenous peoples in Canada, particularly among the Cree and Ojibwe communities. In digital text, U+15FA acts as a carrier character that allows for the combination of consonant and vowel symbols within the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics script. This unique representation system enables linguistic accuracy and clarity in the communication of these languages through technology platforms, such as websites and applications. The CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER KHA character is an essential component of efforts to preserve and promote Canada's Indigenous linguistic heritage.
