Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᒻ has the Unicode code point U+14BB. 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+14BB to binary:
00010100 10111011. 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 10111011

Description
U+14BB Canadian Syllabics M is a character used in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block of Unicode. It represents the syllable 'M' in the Cree language, which is one of the most widely spoken Indigenous languages in Canada. The syllabic script was developed by missionaries in the 19th century to facilitate literacy among Indigenous communities who were largely oral and did not have a written tradition. Today, this character plays an important role in preserving and promoting Indigenous cultures and languages by enabling digital text representation of these scripts. As part of the Unicode Standard, it allows for accurate encoding, searchability, and compatibility across various platforms and devices, ensuring the longevity and accessibility of Indigenous languages for future generations.
