Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᗡ has the Unicode code point U+15E1. 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+15E1 to binary:
00010101 11100001. 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 10100001

Description
U+15E1 is the Unicode character code for "CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER THA", which belongs to the group of Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics. This set of symbols is used in written Cree, a widely spoken indigenous language in Canada. In digital text, U+15E1 acts as a carrier for the following three individual syllabic characters: "WA", "HA", and "SA". These individual syllabic characters can be combined with other syllabic characters to form words. The use of these characters contributes to the preservation of cultural heritage, linguistic diversity, and communication within Aboriginal communities in Canada.
