Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᓑ has the Unicode code point U+14D1. 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+14D1 to binary:
00010100 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 10010011 10010001

Description
The Unicode character U+14D1, known as the "CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER NG", is a typographic symbol primarily used in digital text for its role in representing the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics script. This script is utilized to write various Indigenous languages of Canada, including Cree, Ojibwe, Inuktitut, and other similar languages. The U+14D1 character serves as a carrier unit for syllabic characters, enabling efficient encoding and display of text in these languages. In the context of digital typography and Unicode, the CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER NG (U+14D1) is an essential component that ensures accurate representation of Indigenous Canadian languages on digital platforms. Its use reflects the ongoing effort to preserve and promote cultural diversity through inclusive language support in modern technology.
