Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᒄ has the Unicode code point U+1484. 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+1484 to binary:
00010100 10000100. 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 10000100

Description
U+1484 is a character from the Canadian Syllabics block of Unicode. In its typical usage, it serves as a symbol within digital text for representing the phoneme /kw/ in the Cree language. This character plays a vital role in encoding and displaying written content in Cree and other Canadian Indigenous languages that use the Canadian Syllabics script. The syllabic writing system was developed by missionaries in the 19th century to facilitate literacy among Indigenous communities, particularly in Northern Canada. Today, it remains an important tool for preserving and promoting linguistic diversity and cultural heritage within these communities.
