Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᗥ has the Unicode code point U+15E5. 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+15E5 to binary:
00010101 11100101. 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 10100101

Description
The Unicode character U+15E5 represents "CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER TTEE." This character plays a vital role in digital text, primarily within the realm of Canadian Aboriginal syllabics. In this context, it serves as a carrier for the following characters: ᒡ (K), ᓄ (L), and ᓈ (ᖅ). Its function is to carry these characters due to the limitations in some digital systems and platforms, allowing for a seamless representation of the Canadian Aboriginal languages. These languages are an essential part of Canada's cultural heritage, spoken by various Indigenous communities across the country. The use of U+15E5 in digital text ensures that these languages can be preserved and shared within and beyond these communities, fostering cultural understanding and appreciation.
