Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᗧ has the Unicode code point U+15E7. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+15E7 to binary:
00010101 11100111
. 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 10100111

Description
The character U+15E7, known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER TTA, plays a significant role in digital text, specifically within the context of Canadian Aboriginal languages. It is an essential component of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics encoding system, which represents spoken Indigenous languages throughout Canada. This encoding system is vital for preserving and promoting Indigenous culture and history, as it allows for the accurate representation of these unique languages in digital text. The CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER TTA serves as a carrier character that helps in the efficient encoding and display of syllabic symbols within the system. By acting as a base or foundation, this character facilitates the correct arrangement and combination of individual syllable blocks to form coherent text in various Canadian Aboriginal languages. Overall, U+15E7 is an integral part of a larger system that supports linguistic diversity and cultural preservation in Canada and beyond.
