Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᐬ has the Unicode code point U+142C. 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+142C to binary:
00010100 00101100. 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 10010000 10101100

Description
The Unicode character U+142C, known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS IN, is an important symbol within the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block of characters. This specific glyph is used in the representation of the phonetic sounds of Indigenous languages, such as Cree and Ojibwe, spoken by numerous First Nations communities throughout Canada. It serves a crucial role in digital text, enabling the preservation and transmission of these culturally significant languages in the digital age. The CANADIAN SYLLABICS IN character contributes to linguistic diversity and supports efforts to revitalize Indigenous languages, thereby fostering cultural pride and understanding among both Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities.
