Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᗟ has the Unicode code point U+15DF. 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+15DF to binary:
00010101 11011111. 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 10011111

Description
The Unicode character U+15DF, known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER THEE, is a crucial component in the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics script. This script, which is a part of the Unicode Standard, has been designed to represent the various indigenous languages spoken in Canada. The character serves as a carrier or marker for the following character in the syllabic sequence, enabling it to function effectively in digital text representations of these languages. U+15DF is specifically used in Cree, an Algonquian language that is widely spoken across Northern and Central Canada. Its presence in the Unicode standard ensures that the Cree language and other Canadian Aboriginal languages can be accurately transcribed, preserved, and shared on digital platforms.
