Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᗮ has the Unicode code point U+15EE. 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+15EE to binary:
00010101 11101110. 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 10101110

Description
The character U+15EE is known as the Canadian Syllabics Carrier P in Unicode, a global standard for encoding characters. It serves as a non-spacing carrier character in digital text, specifically in the context of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics script. This script is utilized primarily among the First Nations peoples of Canada, particularly the Cree, Ojibwe, and Inuit communities. U+15EE's role is to facilitate the display of syllabic characters, which are then combined with other syllabic or alphabetic characters to form words and sentences in these languages. While it may not have any notable linguistic value on its own, the Carrier P plays a critical technical role in ensuring accurate representation and correct sequencing of syllabic elements within digital text.
