Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᒎ has the Unicode code point U+148E. 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+148E to binary:
00010100 10001110. 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 10001110

Description
The Unicode character U+148E, known as the "CANADIAN SYLLABICS COO", holds a significant position in digital text for its application within the Cree language. This particular symbol is part of the Canadian Syllabics block which was developed by Christian missionaries in the 19th century to transcribe the Cree language, and it is now used to support Indigenous languages across Canada. In the Cree language, each character represents a syllable rather than a single sound or letter as seen in the English alphabet. The use of U+148E (CANADIAN SYLLABICS COO) in digital text aids in maintaining cultural integrity and promoting linguistic diversity. It is essential to recognize its role in supporting Indigenous languages, which have been historically marginalized, while utilizing modern technology to preserve cultural heritage and knowledge.
