Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᗩ has the Unicode code point U+15E9. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+15E9 to binary:
00010101 11101001
. 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 10101001

Description
The Unicode character U+15E9, known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER PO, plays a crucial role in digital text by providing a structural function within the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics script. This script is used primarily to represent the languages of Canada's Indigenous peoples, particularly the Cree, Ojibwe, Inuktitut, and other similar languages. U+15E9 serves as a carrier character for syllabic groups in these languages, enabling accurate representation of the phonetic structure and providing essential support for preserving and promoting Indigenous linguistic heritage in digital communications and applications.
