Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᒬ has the Unicode code point U+14AC. 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+14AC to binary:
00010100 10101100
. 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 10101100

Description
The Unicode character U+14AC, known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS MWE, plays a significant role in digital text by representing a unique phonetic symbol within the Canadian Syllabics script. This script is an essential component of Indigenous languages in Canada, particularly among the Cree and Ojibwe-speaking communities. The character's use allows for accurate transcription and communication of these languages in digital platforms, fostering the preservation and revitalization of Indigenous cultural heritage. As a specialized typographical element, U+14AC contributes to linguistic diversity and supports the representation of marginalized voices within the realm of digital text.
