Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᗻ has the Unicode code point U+15FB. 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+15FB to binary:
00010101 11111011. 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 10111011

Description
U+15FB, also known as the Canadian Syllabics Carrier KKU, is a character from the Unicode Standard used in digital text representation. This specific character plays a crucial role in preserving and promoting Indigenous languages in Canada, particularly among the First Nations communities. The Canadian Syllabics Carrier KKU is part of the Cree syllabary, which was developed by missionaries to transcribe Cree language sounds during the 19th century. In digital text, U+15FB is used to accurately represent and maintain the linguistic features and phonetic structure of these Indigenous languages, ensuring that they are not lost or misinterpreted in modern communication. The character's usage is vital for the preservation of cultural heritage and the promotion of language diversity in Canada, reflecting a strong connection between typography, language, and cultural identity.
