Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᗸ has the Unicode code point U+15F8. 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+15F8 to binary:
00010101 11111000. 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 10111000

Description
U+15F8, known as the "Canadian Syllabics Carrier Khee" character, is a key element within the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics writing system. This character serves as a carrier character, enabling the use of diacritic marks in the system to denote specific phonetic modifications. Its primary role is to support the representation and preservation of Indigenous languages across Canada, particularly in the Cree, Ojibwe, and Inuktitut languages. The character's inclusion in digital text enhances the accuracy and accessibility of these languages for both native speakers and linguists alike. By incorporating U+15F8 into their work, researchers and writers can effectively showcase the rich cultural and linguistic diversity found within Indigenous communities across Canada.
