Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᓃ has the Unicode code point U+14C3. 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+14C3 to binary:
00010100 11000011. 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 10000011

Description
The Unicode character U+14C3, known as "CANADIAN SYLLABICS NII," plays a significant role in the digital representation of Canadian Aboriginal languages. It is an integral part of the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics set, which comprises 256 unique characters used to transcribe Cree, Ojibwa, Inuktitut, and other First Nations languages spoken across Canada. U+14C3 specifically represents a consonant with nasalization in these languages. The Canadian Aboriginal syllabics have evolved from the early 19th-century syllabic writing system developed by missionary James Evans for the Cree language, which aimed to facilitate literacy among Indigenous communities. Today, U+14C3 and other characters within the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics set continue to serve as vital tools in preserving, promoting, and revitalizing these culturally significant languages.
