Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᗒ has the Unicode code point U+15D2. 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+15D2 to binary:
00010101 11010010. 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 10010010

Description
The Unicode character U+15D2, known as the Canadian Syllabics Carrier WE (ᐟ), is a crucial component of the Canadian Syllabics script used primarily in the written expression of various Indigenous languages across Canada, particularly within Inuit and First Nations communities. This character serves as a carrier or an anchor for other syllabic characters in these unique writing systems. Typically, U+15D2 is combined with a following alphabetic character to represent a distinct syllable in the language. The Canadian Syllabics script was devised in the 1940s by missionaries aiming to translate religious texts into Indigenous languages and has since evolved to support various dialects and modern written communication within these communities. As part of the UTF-8 character set, U+15D2 ensures compatibility and interoperability across digital platforms, promoting the preservation and dissemination of Indigenous languages through online channels.
