Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᗾ has the Unicode code point U+15FE. 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+15FE to binary:
00010101 11111110. 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 10111110

Description
U+15FE (CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER KKEE) is a crucial character within the Unicode Standard that represents a specific grapheme cluster in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block. Its primary role in digital text is to serve as a carrier character for combining syllabic elements, facilitating the accurate representation of the Inuit, Cree, Ojibwe, and other Indigenous languages of Canada. This Unicode character is essential for linguistic preservation and cultural representation, enabling users to input and view text in these languages with greater accuracy and authenticity. As part of the broader Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics set, U+15FE helps maintain a significant aspect of Indigenous identity and heritage through digital communication and literacy.
