Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᗷ has the Unicode code point U+15F7. 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+15F7 to binary:
00010101 11110111. 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 10110111

Description
U+15F7, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER KHE, is a specialized Unicode character with a unique role in digital text. It is predominantly used within the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block to act as a carrier for syllabic characters in the Inuit, Mi'kmaq, and other indigenous languages of Canada. The character serves as a base for various syllable combinations and is essential in representing the rich oral traditions of these communities through written text. As part of the Unicode Standard, U+15F7 ensures accurate representation of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics script in digital platforms, facilitating communication and preservation of indigenous languages and cultural heritage.
