Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᓖ has the Unicode code point U+14D6. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+14D6 to binary:
00010100 11010110
. 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 10010110

Description
The Unicode character U+14D6 represents the "Canadian Syllabics LII" in digital text. This symbol is part of a set of characters designed to represent the Cree, Ojibwa, Inuktitut, and other Indigenous languages of Canada. Canadian syllabics are a unique writing system that utilizes symbols to represent phonemes, or distinct sounds, in these languages. Each character typically represents either a consonant-vowel pair or a vowel in Cree, Inuktitut, and other related languages. The U+14D6 symbol is used in digital text for accurate representation of Indigenous languages in various software applications, websites, and documents. Its primary role is to support the preservation and revitalization of these languages by providing a reliable method for encoding and transmitting their unique phonetic structure.
