Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᒮ has the Unicode code point U+14AE. 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+14AE to binary:
00010100 10101110. 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 10101110

Description
U+14AE, also known as the "Canadian Syllabics Mwi" character, plays a significant role in digital text as part of the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics set. This typographic symbol is primarily used to represent phonetic sounds and written language among Indigenous communities in Canada, particularly among the Cree, Ojibwe, and other Algonquian-speaking peoples. The Canadian Syllabics script was developed by missionaries and educators during the 19th century as a writing system for these languages, facilitating literacy and communication within these linguistic groups. The character U+14AE is an essential component of this unique orthographic system, contributing to the preservation and promotion of Indigenous cultural heritage and identity in Canada.
