Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᗢ has the Unicode code point U+15E2. 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+15E2 to binary:
00010101 11100010. 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 10100010

Description
U+15E2, the Canadian Syllabics Carrier TTU character, plays a significant role in digital text by serving as a carrier for the 36 Cree syllabic characters in the Unicode Standard. This character is critical for representing the Cree language and other Canadian Aboriginal languages that use the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics script. The carrier TTU (Technical, Technical, Unassigned) enables these languages to be properly displayed and preserved digitally, thus ensuring the continuity of cultural heritage and communication among Indigenous communities in Canada.
