Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᗠ has the Unicode code point U+15E0. 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+15E0 to binary:
00010101 11100000. 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 10100000

Description
U+15E0 (CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER THI) is a character in the Unicode Standard that plays a significant role in digital text representation of Canadian Syllabics, an alphasyllabic writing system used primarily by Indigenous peoples in Canada. This particular character acts as a carrier for the following syllabic characters: ᐹ (ITSE), ᑯ (THU), and ᖳ (TSA). The use of U+15E0 ensures that these characters are displayed correctly and with the appropriate spacing in digital text, such as on websites, documents, and software applications. It is essential for preserving the linguistic integrity and cultural significance of the Canadian Syllabics script, which has been widely used since the 1940s to teach and promote Indigenous languages across Canada.
