Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᗽ has the Unicode code point U+15FD. 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+15FD to binary:
00010101 11111101. 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 10111101

Description
The Unicode character U+15FD, also known as "CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER KKE," is a significant symbol in digital text, particularly within the realm of Canadian Syllabics script. In this context, it serves as a carrier character, used to separate syllables in the Aboriginal languages of Canada. Its role is vital for maintaining the accurate phonetic representation of these unique languages, which have been traditionally written using syllabic writing systems. Despite its seemingly obscure function, U+15FD plays a critical part in preserving and promoting cultural heritage and linguistic diversity within Indigenous communities across Canada.
