Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᓪ has the Unicode code point U+14EA. 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+14EA to binary:
00010100 11101010. 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 10010011 10101010

Description
The Unicode character U+14EA, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS L, is an important symbol within the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block. Its primary role in digital text is to represent a specific sound or phoneme in various Indigenous languages across Canada, such as Cree, Ojibwe, Inuktitut, and others. This character, along with other syllabic symbols, forms the basis of a writing system designed for ease of use and pronunciation by speakers of these languages, who often have limited literacy in European-derived scripts like Latin or Cyrillic. The Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics script, which includes U+14EA, has been crucial in preserving Indigenous linguistic heritage and promoting literacy among Indigenous communities in Canada.
