Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᒲ has the Unicode code point U+14B2. 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+14B2 to binary:
00010100 10110010. 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 10110010

Description
The Unicode character U+14B2, known as the Canadian Syllabics MWO (Middle Water Opener), is a glyph from the Inuit and First Nations writing system in Canada. It plays a significant role in digital text by representing phonetic elements within the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics, which are used for transcribing spoken language in various Indigenous languages of the region. U+14B2 specifically represents the sound "mwo" at the middle water level in these syllabic scripts, enabling accurate and efficient communication among Indigenous peoples who primarily use oral traditions. The character contributes to the preservation of cultural heritage, linguistic diversity, and the promotion of Indigenous rights in the digital realm.
