Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᗦ has the Unicode code point U+15E6. 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+15E6 to binary:
00010101 11100110. 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 10100110

Description
The Unicode character U+15E6, known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER TTI, is a crucial component in the representation of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics script within digital text. This script is primarily used to transcribe the Indigenous languages spoken by various First Nations communities across Canada. The "TTI" in its name stands for "Text Transformation and Interchange," signifying its role as a carrier character, enabling the proper encoding of syllabic characters and their corresponding accents in computer systems. By using U+15E6 in combination with other Unicode characters, it facilitates accurate text processing and preservation of these vital Indigenous languages in digital formats for posterity and communication.
