Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᗝ has the Unicode code point U+15DD. 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+15DD to binary:
00010101 11011101. 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 10011101

Description
The Unicode character U+15DD, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER THO, is a significant glyph in digital text, specifically within the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics script. This script is a phonetic writing system used for multiple Algonquian languages spoken by Indigenous peoples across Canada, particularly in the regions of Northern Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Quebec. U+15DD serves as a carrier character or separator to divide words or phrases within this syllabary, enabling more accurate and efficient processing for both human readers and computational systems. Its usage is essential in preserving and promoting Indigenous languages, fostering cultural heritage, and facilitating communication among Canadian Aboriginal communities. The CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER THO character contributes to the broader objective of digital inclusivity by providing a space for Indigenous voices within the realm of technology and information exchange.
