Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᓏ has the Unicode code point U+14CF. 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+14CF to binary:
00010100 11001111. 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 10001111

Description
U+14CF, known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS NASKAPI NWAA, is a character from the Unicode standard that plays a significant role in digital text representation. This character specifically belongs to the group of Canadian Syllabics, which are used to represent the indigenous languages of Canada, namely the Cree, Ojibwe, Inuktitut, and other similar languages. The Naskapi NWAA is one of several consonants in the Naskapi language spoken by the Naskapi people living in the province of Quebec, Canada. In digital texts, U+14CF is often used to support the representation of these indigenous languages and their respective scripts, thus playing a vital role in preserving linguistic heritage and promoting cultural diversity. By accurately representing these unique characters, the Unicode standard ensures that authors, researchers, and other users can effectively communicate and share information across various platforms without losing important linguistic context. Therefore, U+14CF demonstrates the power of Unicode to facilitate cultural understanding, appreciation, and preservation through its extensive character set.
