Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᗐ has the Unicode code point U+15D0. 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+15D0 to binary:
00010101 11010000. 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 10010000

Description
U+15D0, or CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER WU, is a character within the Unicode Standard that serves as a carrier for the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics script. This script is primarily used in written communication within Indigenous communities across Canada, including First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples. The character U+15D0 assists in representing syllables by acting as a modifier to the base characters, allowing for the creation of more complex syllabic combinations. Its role in digital text is vital in preserving and promoting Indigenous languages and cultural heritage through written form. While it may not have widespread usage outside these communities, its inclusion in the Unicode Standard demonstrates an effort towards linguistic inclusivity and cultural recognition.
