Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᗑ has the Unicode code point U+15D1. 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+15D1 to binary:
00010101 11010001. 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 10010001

Description
U+15D1 is the Unicode code point for "CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER WO." This character serves as a carrier in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics encoding system, which represents the languages of Canada's indigenous peoples. In digital text, it is typically employed to divide syllables when using this unique writing system. The Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics script was developed in the 1940s by missionaries and educators working with the Cree, Ojibway, and other First Nations communities. The use of U+15D1 as a carrier reflects the phonological structure of these languages, which rely heavily on consonant-vowel syllable patterns. This character contributes to preserving and promoting the linguistic heritage of Canada's Indigenous peoples while facilitating digital communication in their languages.
