Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᐛ has the Unicode code point U+141B. 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+141B to binary:
00010100 00011011. 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 10010000 10011011

Description
U+141B, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS NASKAPI WAA, is a typographical character found in the Unicode Standard, specifically within the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block. This character holds significant importance in digital text, particularly for Naskapi, a First Nations people living in Quebec and Labrador, Canada. The Naskapi language relies on this syllabic script for written communication, making U+141B an integral part of the linguistic landscape for this community. Its usage is mainly limited to digital texts where the Naskapi script is required, such as in software applications, websites, and other online platforms that support Unicode. The character's role in preserving and promoting the Naskapi language highlights its cultural and technical significance in the realm of typography and linguistics.
