Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᗌ has the Unicode code point U+15CC. 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+15CC to binary:
00010101 11001100. 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 10001100

Description
U+15CC is a character in the Unicode standard that represents the Canadian Syllabics Carrier RE (Unicode name "U+15CC CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER RE"). This character serves as a carrier in digital text for the purpose of representing the phonetic structure of words in the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics writing system. The Canadian Aboriginal syllabics are used to represent the various indigenous languages across Canada, such as Ojibwe, Cree, Inuktitut, and others. U+15CC is a part of a set of characters that work together in this system, where each character represents either a consonant or a vowel. The primary role of the Canadian Syllabics Carrier RE (U+15CC) is to function as a placeholder for the actual syllabic character when necessary, such as at the end of a line or in other situations where the next character would be ambiguous without additional context. U+15CC helps maintain the correct phonetic structure in digital text, preserving the linguistic integrity of these indigenous languages in the digital world.
