Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᓢ has the Unicode code point U+14E2. 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+14E2 to binary:
00010100 11100010. 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 10100010

Description
The Unicode character U+14E2, also known as "CANADIAN SYLLABICS LWO," is a crucial element in the realm of digital typography, specifically in the context of Canadian Indigenous languages. It is a component of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, which consists of 38 characters primarily used for writing Cree, Ojibwe, and other Algonquian languages. U+14E2 serves as an essential building block for constructing words in these languages, each character representing a syllable. This typographical element holds immense cultural significance, as it enables the digital transmission and preservation of Indigenous oral histories, traditions, and knowledge systems. The usage of U+14E2, like other characters within the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, helps promote linguistic diversity and supports the revitalization of endangered languages in Canada and beyond.
