Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᓇ has the Unicode code point U+14C7. 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+14C7 to binary:
00010100 11000111
. 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 10000111

Description
The Unicode character U+14C7, known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS NA, holds a significant role in digital text, particularly within the context of the Canadian Indigenous languages. This character is part of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, which consists of 92 characters used to represent various Indigenous languages across Canada. U+14C7 specifically represents the phoneme /n/ in the syllabic writing system. While its usage may be less common due to the complexity and specialized nature of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics, it remains an essential component for accurate representation and preservation of these languages within digital platforms. The use of U+14C7 and other characters from this block demonstrates a commitment to cultural and linguistic diversity, fostering understanding and respect for Indigenous communities and their heritage.
