Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᓒ has the Unicode code point U+14D2. 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+14D2 to binary:
00010100 11010010. 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 10010010

Description
The Unicode character U+14D2, known as "CANADIAN SYLLABICS NH," is an essential component of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics character set. This character set, comprising 60 unique symbols, was developed in the early 20th century to facilitate written communication within Indigenous communities across Canada. U+14D2 represents a specific phonetic sound in these syllabic scripts and is commonly used in digital text to transcribe and convey linguistic nuances in Indigenous languages, such as Cree, Ojibwe, Inuktitut, and others. Its role in digital text is crucial for the preservation of Indigenous culture, fostering education, and promoting language revitalization efforts among these communities. The use of U+14D2 and other Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics characters helps bridge the gap between oral and written traditions, further enriching the linguistic landscape of Canada.
