Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᗤ has the Unicode code point U+15E4. 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+15E4 to binary:
00010101 11100100. 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 10100100

Description
U+15E4, or CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER TTE, is a character in the Unicode standard that plays a crucial role in digital text representation, particularly within the realm of Canadian Aboriginal syllabics. This character serves as a carrier for other syllabic characters and helps to facilitate the accurate representation of the various Indigenous languages spoken across Canada. The usage of U+15E4 is predominantly found in digital texts where these languages are being communicated or preserved, enabling readers and speakers alike to engage with this rich linguistic heritage. It is important to note that the character's primary function is technical, as it ensures the proper display and ordering of syllabic characters in text systems. By understanding the significance of U+15E4 within the context of Canadian Aboriginal languages and digital typography, one can appreciate its cultural, linguistic, and technical importance in today's increasingly interconnected world.
