Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᗞ has the Unicode code point U+15DE. 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+15DE to binary:
00010101 11011110. 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 10011110

Description
The Unicode character U+15DE represents the "CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER THE" in digital text. This character is essential in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics encoding system, which is used to represent the languages of Canada's Indigenous peoples, primarily Cree, Ojibwe, and Inuktitut. The CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER THE serves as a placeholder for the following syllable in these syllabic scripts, allowing writers and typographers to use it effectively when creating text in these languages. Its role is crucial in preserving and promoting Indigenous cultures by providing a digital representation of their unique writing systems.
