Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᗬ has the Unicode code point U+15EC. 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+15EC to binary:
00010101 11101100. 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 10101100

Description
The Unicode character U+15EC, known as "CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER PI", is a crucial element in the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics block of characters. It primarily serves as a "carrier" for combining with other Unicode characters to form complex syllabic glyphs used in written communication among Indigenous peoples, particularly in Canada and parts of the United States. The usage of this character is deeply rooted in the linguistic and cultural context of these communities, which has led to its significant role in digital text that represents their languages. These languages include Cree, Ojibwe, Inuktitut, and other dialects spoken by Indigenous peoples in North America. In Unicode, each character in this block is designed to combine with the following character, creating a unique syllabic glyph that accurately represents phonetic and semantic aspects of these languages. By focusing on accuracy and functionality within its context, U+15EC plays an essential role in preserving and promoting Indigenous linguistic heritage through digital communication.
