Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᓘ has the Unicode code point U+14D8. 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+14D8 to binary:
00010100 11011000. 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 10011000

Description
The Unicode character U+14D8, known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS LOO, is a crucial symbol within the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block of characters. This particular glyph represents the phonetic value "loo" or "ł", which is used in the writing system for several Indigenous languages of Canada, such as Cree, Ojibwe, and Inuktitut. The Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics script was developed by missionaries and educators in the late 19th century to facilitate literacy in these languages. U+14D8 plays a vital role in preserving Indigenous languages and culture, as well as enabling communication and education among speakers of these languages in digital text.
