Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᑮ has the Unicode code point U+146E. 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+146E to binary:
00010100 01101110. 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 10101110

Description
The Unicode character U+146E, known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS KII, plays a significant role in digital texts, particularly within the realm of Canadian Aboriginal languages. This character represents a specific syllable in the Cree language and is part of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block of the Unicode standard, which consists of 219 characters (U+14A0 to U+167F). The Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics were developed by missionaries in the 19th century as a way to transcribe and teach Christianity to Indigenous people in Canada. The use of this character is not limited to digital texts, as it has also been employed on physical signage and other forms of communication in Indigenous communities across Canada. Due to its cultural significance and linguistic importance, U+146E helps to preserve and promote the Cree language and the rich heritage of Canadian Aboriginal cultures.
