Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᗣ has the Unicode code point U+15E3. 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+15E3 to binary:
00010101 11100011. 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 10100011

Description
U+15E3, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER TTO, is a specialized character within the Unicode standard primarily used in digital texts for representing the Inuktitut language, which is spoken by the Inuit people of Northern Canada. This unique character acts as a carrier that links multiple syllabic glyphs in the Inuktitut writing system. Its role is crucial in maintaining the integrity and accuracy of written Inuktitut, as it helps to convey the correct phonological structure and intonation patterns inherent to this language. The use of CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER TTO demonstrates a deep understanding of cultural, linguistic, and technical contexts surrounding the Inuktitut writing system and reflects an appreciation for its importance in preserving and transmitting indigenous knowledge and traditions.
