Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᗫ has the Unicode code point U+15EB. 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+15EB to binary:
00010101 11101011. 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 10101011

Description
The Unicode character U+15EB, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER PEE, is a unique symbol in the digital text realm. It serves as a carrier for the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics script, which represents the spoken languages of various Indigenous peoples across Canada. This script consists of 21 characters that correspond to consonants and vowels used in Cree, Ojibwe, Inuktitut, and other similar dialects. The CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER PEE (U+15EB) specifically acts as a marker for following syllabic characters, indicating their position within the syllable structure. By doing so, it aids in preserving and promoting Indigenous languages and cultural heritage through written form, making it an essential character in digital text, particularly in typography related to Indigenous North American cultures.
