Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᒔ has the Unicode code point U+1494. 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+1494 to binary:
00010100 10010100. 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 10010100

Description
The character U+1494, known as the Canadian Syllabics CWI (Cree WI), holds a significant position in digital text, particularly within the realm of Indigenous languages. It belongs to the Unicode Standard, a system that assigns unique codes to every character used across the world's digital platforms, promoting interoperability and seamless communication. In its linguistic context, CWI is a key element within the Cree language, one of the Algonquian family of languages spoken predominantly in Canada. This character aids in phonetic representation, facilitating the accurate spelling and pronunciation of Cree words. The usage of such characters, like U+1494, is crucial for preserving and revitalizing Indigenous languages, which are often at risk of being lost or marginalized. In terms of technical context, the character's inclusion in digital platforms demonstrates a shift towards inclusivity and recognition of linguistic diversity.
