Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᒽ has the Unicode code point U+14BD. 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+14BD to binary:
00010100 10111101. 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 10111101

Description
The Unicode character U+14BD, or CANADIAN SYLLABICS MH, is a crucial element within the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics subset of Unicode. This unique character holds significant cultural, linguistic, and technical importance. Primarily used in digital texts, it serves as a building block for written expression in several Indigenous languages across Canada, specifically Cree, Ojibwe, Inuktitut, and other Northern Algonquian languages. These languages are essential to the cultural identity and heritage of Indigenous communities in North America. The Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics were developed in the 1940s by missionary George H. Johnson for educational purposes, and they have since become a fundamental means of communication, preservation, and revitalization of these languages. In digital contexts, U+14BD facilitates accurate representation and searchability of Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics texts, which is vital for ongoing language documentation, research, and education efforts. Overall, the character U+14BD is a key component in fostering linguistic diversity, preserving Indigenous heritage, and promoting cultural understanding within the digital realm.
