Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᗓ has the Unicode code point U+15D3. 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+15D3 to binary:
00010101 11010011. 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 10010011

Description
U+15D3 is a Canadian Syllabics Carrier Wee character from the Unicode Standard. It primarily serves as a typographic component within digital text, specifically in the Cree syllabics script system used by various Indigenous peoples across Canada. The character's primary role is to carry one or more syllables written using the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics characters. By combining with other syllabic characters, it helps create words in the Cree language and related dialects, enabling effective communication and preservation of cultural identity. This Unicode character holds significant importance within the linguistic context as it contributes to the representation of Indigenous languages, which are often underrepresented in digital text.
