Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᗕ has the Unicode code point U+15D5. 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+15D5 to binary:
00010101 11010101. 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 10010101

Description
U+15D5, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER WA, is a character from the Unicode Standard that serves a specific role in digital text. It is part of the Canadian Syllabics block and represents a carrier character used to group multiple syllabic characters into a single unit for proper spacing and layout in written text. This character is crucial in the representation of the Indigenous languages of Canada, such as Cree, Ojibwe, Inuktitut, and others that use the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics script. The use of U+15D5 allows for the accurate display and formatting of these languages in digital environments, thereby preserving their linguistic heritage and facilitating communication among speakers of these languages. This character holds a significant position in the field of typography and digital text, as it ensures the correct representation and layout of Canadian Indigenous languages within software applications and on digital platforms.
