Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᗭ has the Unicode code point U+15ED. 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+15ED to binary:
00010101 11101101. 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 10101101

Description
The Unicode character U+15ED, known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER PA, plays a significant role in digital text representation of the Canadian Syllabics script. This script is primarily used to write Indigenous languages of Canada, specifically the Cree, Ojibwe, and Michif languages. The U+15ED character acts as a carrier or syllabic base for the combination of consonants and vowels in these languages. In digital typography, it helps ensure accurate representation and readability of text within the Canadian Syllabics script, preserving linguistic and cultural heritage while allowing for effective communication and understanding among speakers of these Indigenous languages. The use of the CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER PA character in digital text demonstrates an ongoing commitment to inclusivity and respect for the diverse linguistic landscapes within Canada and beyond.
