Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᓀ has the Unicode code point U+14C0. 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+14C0 to binary:
00010100 11000000. 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 10000000

Description
U+14C0 Canadian Syllabics NE is a character within the Unicode standard that holds significant cultural and linguistic importance for Indigenous communities in Canada. Primarily used in digital text, this character represents a syllable in the Cree language, which is an Algonquian language family spoken by various First Nations peoples across Canada. The Canadian Syllabics script was created by missionaries in the 19th century to facilitate biblical translation and literacy education among Indigenous communities, and has since evolved into a widely-used written form for multiple Indigenous languages. U+14C0 is part of a set of 68 syllabic characters that make up the Canadian Syllabics block (U+14A0 to U+16FF), which was added to Unicode in 2007 to ensure accurate and consistent representation of Indigenous languages in digital text.
