Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᒡ has the Unicode code point U+14A1. 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+14A1 to binary:
00010100 10100001. 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 10010010 10100001

Description
U+14A1, also known as the CANADIAN SYLLABICS C character, is a crucial element within the Unicode standard, specifically in the area of digital text representation. Its primary role lies in its application within the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, where it serves as an essential building block for constructing syllables in various indigenous languages across Canada. The Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics encompass a diverse range of dialects, with U+14A1 being particularly significant in languages such as Ojibwe, Cree, and Inuktitut. In the realm of typography, this character holds particular importance due to its cultural significance and linguistic value, especially within indigenous communities in Canada. As a part of the syllabic writing system, U+14A1 allows for the efficient representation of sounds and words that are unique to these languages, thereby preserving their heritage and facilitating communication among speakers. This character's presence within digital text not only enhances the accuracy of online content in these languages but also contributes to the overall richness and diversity of human expression.
