Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᒘ has the Unicode code point U+1498. 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+1498 to binary:
00010100 10011000. 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 10011000

Description
The Unicode character U+1498 represents the "Canadian Syllabics CWO" (ᚢ) in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics script. This script is primarily used for written communication within Indigenous communities across Canada, particularly among the Cree and Ojibwe nations. It consists of 21 consonants and 21 vowels, each with multiple allographs or alternate forms. U+1498, specifically, represents a consonant that is often used in conjunction with other characters to form syllables, which then combine to create words within the syllabic writing system. The use of this character and the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics script as a whole serves an important role in preserving and promoting Indigenous languages and cultural heritage.
