Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᒚ has the Unicode code point U+149A. 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+149A to binary:
00010100 10011010. 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 10011010

Description
U+149A is a character from the Canadian Syllabics block of Unicode, representing the phoneme 'cwoo' in Cree language. In its typical usage in digital text, it serves as a single unit for encoding characters within this syllabary, allowing for a consistent representation and manipulation of Cree text across various platforms and applications. The Canadian Syllabics script is vital to Indigenous languages in Canada, such as Cree, Ojibwe, Inuktitut, and others, providing an important means of preserving and promoting these linguistic traditions. U+149A holds cultural significance within the Cree community, where it represents a distinct phonetic element, contributing to the rich tapestry of Indigenous oral history, literature, and contemporary language revitalization efforts. As with other characters in the Canadian Syllabics block, U+149A is crucial for accurate transcription and communication within these linguistic contexts, reflecting the diverse expressions and nuances inherent to Indigenous languages in Canada.
