Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᓐ has the Unicode code point U+14D0. 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+14D0 to binary:
00010100 11010000. 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 10010011 10010000

Description
U+14D0 is the Unicode character code for "CANADIAN SYLLABICS N". This particular symbol plays a significant role in digital text, specifically within the realm of linguistics. The Canadian Syllabics are a set of 58 alphabetic characters used to represent the various dialects and languages spoken by Indigenous peoples across Canada, primarily in the provinces of Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta. Each character represents either an individual sound or syllable, allowing users to communicate complex ideas with a relatively simple set of symbols. The unique cultural context of these characters is deeply rooted in Indigenous history and tradition, making their usage within digital text not only linguistically significant but also culturally important.
