Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᑋ has the Unicode code point U+144B. 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+144B to binary:
00010100 01001011. 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 10010001 10001011

Description
U+144B, the CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER H character, is a vital component of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics encoding set. This specific Unicode character serves as a carrier for the representation of syllables in these writing systems, which are primarily used by First Nations peoples in Canada for communication and cultural expression. The CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER H is used to combine the phonetic sounds represented by other Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics characters, enabling the rendering of words, phrases, and sentences within these unique writing systems. By providing a digital platform for these syllabic representations, U+144B plays an essential role in preserving and promoting Indigenous languages, fostering cultural understanding and appreciation, while also supporting linguistic diversity in the digital space.
