Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᗵ has the Unicode code point U+15F5. 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+15F5 to binary:
00010101 11110101. 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 10110101

Description
U+15F5 is a unique character in the Unicode Standard that represents "CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER KHU" (U+15F5). This specific code point is part of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, which consists of 270 characters used for writing the indigenous languages of Canada. The U+15F5 character serves as a carrier or filler character in digital text, particularly when displaying or encoding syllabic scripts. Its primary role is to maintain the required byte alignment while ensuring that the subsequent characters in the sequence are displayed correctly within their respective scripts. Due to its importance in maintaining proper formatting and presentation of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics, U+15F5 contributes significantly to the accurate representation of these languages in digital communication and information technology systems.
