Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᗎ has the Unicode code point U+15CE. 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+15CE to binary:
00010101 11001110. 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 10001110

Description
U+15CE, known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER RI, is a character used within the Unicode Standard for digital text representation. Specifically, it serves as a carrier in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics encoding set. This script is utilized to represent the Indigenous languages of Canada, which predominantly encompass the Algonquian, Inuit, and Dene language families. In the context of typography, U+15CE functions as an essential element for writing systems in which syllabic characters are combined with this carrier to form words or phrases. The Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics were developed by missionaries in the 1940s and have since become integral to the preservation and promotion of Indigenous languages and culture. Consequently, the accurate representation of U+15CE in digital text is significant for maintaining linguistic diversity and fostering communication within Indigenous communities across Canada.
