Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᑭ has the Unicode code point U+146D. 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+146D to binary:
00010100 01101101. 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 10010001 10101101

Description
The Unicode character U+146D, known as "CANADIAN SYLLABICS KI," plays a significant role in the representation of the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics script, specifically the Inuit (Eskimo) and Cree languages. This character is part of the "Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics" Unicode block, which comprises 594 characters that represent phonetic sounds in these indigenous languages. U+146D contributes to maintaining linguistic diversity and cultural heritage by enabling digital text encoding for the Inuit and Cree communities. While its usage might not be as prevalent as other Unicode characters, it is essential for accurate communication and preservation of these unique languages. The character may also be used in educational materials, software applications, and digital platforms that support Aboriginal languages to facilitate learning and cultural exchange.
