Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᗪ has the Unicode code point U+15EA. 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+15EA to binary:
00010101 11101010. 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 10101010

Description
The Unicode character U+15EA represents the "CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER PE" in digital text. This specific glyph serves as a carrier for the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics writing system, which is used primarily among Indigenous peoples of Canada. In this context, the "PE" stands for "Punu-e," one of the dialects within the larger system. The primary role of this character is to carry and connect individual syllabic glyphs that comprise words in the Canadian Aboriginal languages. Although U+15EA is often used in combination with other characters from the same block (U+13A0 to U+13FF), it is not a standalone symbol and does not represent any meaning by itself. The use of this character reflects an important cultural, linguistic, and technical context as it preserves and promotes Indigenous languages in Canada through digital text representation.
