Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᗊ has the Unicode code point U+15CA. 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+15CA to binary:
00010101 11001010. 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 10001010

Description
U+15CA (CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER RU) is a Unicode character that plays a significant role in digital text by acting as a carrier for the Canadian Syllabics script. This script is primarily used to represent the indigenous languages of Canada, such as Cree, Ojibwe, and Inuktitut, among others. The U+15CA character is essential for accurately transcribing these languages on digital platforms and maintaining their linguistic integrity. As a carrier, it helps differentiate between individual syllables in the Canadian Syllabics script, which relies on a unique system of combining characters to represent phonemes and morphemes. This character is an important aspect of preserving and promoting Canada's Indigenous languages and cultures through digital communication and documentation.
