Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᖣ has the Unicode code point U+15A3. 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+15A3 to binary:
00010101 10100011. 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 10010110 10100011

Description
U+15A3 (CANADIAN SYLLABICS LHOO) is a character from the Unicode standard, specifically designed to represent the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics used in the Inuit, Cree, Ojibwe, and other indigenous languages of North America. This character is part of the "Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics" block (U+1400-U+167F), introduced in Unicode version 5.2 to support the needs of these linguistic communities. In digital text, U+15A3 serves as a building block for creating syllables and words within these languages, enabling accurate transcription and communication across various platforms. Its use is significant in maintaining linguistic diversity and fostering cultural preservation among Indigenous peoples of Canada.
