Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᓁ has the Unicode code point U+14C1. 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+14C1 to binary:
00010100 11000001. 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 10000001

Description
The Unicode character U+14C1 represents the "CANADIAN SYLLABICS NAAI" (North American Aboriginal Syllabics) glyph in digital text. This character is part of a set of symbols used to represent the various dialects of the Canadian Indigenous languages, predominantly spoken by the First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities across Canada. The North American Aboriginal Syllabics are a writing system developed by missionaries to transcribe the indigenous languages in the mid-19th century, which has since evolved into its modern form. U+14C1 is utilized within digital texts to accurately represent the phonetic structure and cultural nuances of these languages, enabling effective communication among speakers and preserving their linguistic heritage. As a result, this character plays an essential role in promoting cultural diversity, language revitalization, and the digital representation of Indigenous North American languages.
