Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᒞ has the Unicode code point U+149E. 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+149E to binary:
00010100 10011110. 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 10011110

Description
U+149E, known as the CANADIAN SYLLABICS CWAA character, plays a significant role in digital text by representing a specific phoneme within the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics script. This script is essential for preserving and promoting the linguistic heritage of Indigenous peoples in Canada. U+149E is used alongside other Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics characters to encode syllables, which are combined into words that express diverse meanings within Indigenous languages. In digital applications, U+149E helps ensure accurate and culturally sensitive representation of text in these languages, contributing to the maintenance and revitalization of Indigenous linguistic identity. As a key component of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics script, U+149E demonstrates the importance of inclusive typography and unicode standards in supporting linguistic diversity and preserving cultural heritage.
