Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᒫ has the Unicode code point U+14AB. 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+14AB to binary:
00010100 10101011
. 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 10101011

Description
The Unicode character U+14AB represents the "CANADIAN SYLLABICS MAA" glyph, which is part of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block in the Unicode Standard. This set of characters is essential for encoding written materials in Canadian Aboriginal languages, specifically Cree, Ojibwe, Inuktitut, and other related languages. U+14AB, or "CANADIAN SYLLABICS MAA," plays a crucial role in digital text by enabling the accurate representation of these languages on electronic devices and computer systems. This character contributes to preserving cultural heritage and fostering communication among Indigenous communities across Canada, as well as assisting linguists and anthropologists in their research.
