Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᒋ has the Unicode code point U+148B. 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+148B to binary:
00010100 10001011. 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 10001011

Description
The character U+148B, known as the Canadian Syllabics Character I (CI), is a crucial component of the Canadian Aboriginal syllabic writing system. This unique alphabet, developed by missionaries in the 19th century, facilitates communication and literacy among Canada's Indigenous peoples who speak Algonquian languages such as Cree, Ojibwe, and Inuktitut. The U+148B character holds a significant position within this system due to its role as an essential building block of syllables. Each character in the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics represents a distinct sound or phoneme, allowing users to construct words and sentences using these elements. As digital technology has advanced, the usage of U+148B and other characters from the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics set has become increasingly prevalent in various applications like word processing programs, mobile messaging apps, and websites. By preserving Indigenous languages through digital text, the character U+148B plays a vital role in maintaining cultural heritage and fostering linguistic diversity.
