Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᗨ has the Unicode code point U+15E8. 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+15E8 to binary:
00010101 11101000. 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 10101000

Description
The Unicode character U+15E8 represents the "Canadian Syllabics Carrier Pu" (ᓇ) in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics script. This character is primarily used in digital text to represent a phonetic syllable in various Algonquian languages, such as Cree and Ojibwe. In these languages, each character represents a syllable, which can be combined with other characters to form words. The Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics script is an important tool for preserving and promoting Indigenous languages in Canada. The usage of U+15E8, along with other Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics characters, helps bridge the gap between oral and written language, enabling literacy development in these communities while respecting their linguistic heritage.
