Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᗼ has the Unicode code point U+15FC. 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+15FC to binary:
00010101 11111100. 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 10111100

Description
The Unicode character U+15FC, known as the Canadian Syllabics Carrier KKO, holds a significant position in digital texts representing the Inuit language family used by Indigenous peoples of Arctic Canada, particularly in Nunavut and Northern Quebec. This specific character serves as a carrier or delimiter, helping to separate different syllables within the complex phonetic structure of these languages. The Canadian Syllabics script is an adaptation of the Latin alphabet, designed by missionaries in the 19th century for ease of learning and better communication with Indigenous communities. Today, the U+15FC character and other Canadian Syllabics characters continue to play a crucial role in preserving and promoting Inuit languages and cultural heritage.
