Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᓄ has the Unicode code point U+14C4. 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+14C4 to binary:
00010100 11000100. 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 10000100

Description
U+14C4, known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS NO, is a character within the Unicode Standard, specifically encoded in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block. This character primarily serves to represent specific phonetic sounds or syllables in the various Indigenous languages of Canada, such as Cree, Ojibwe, Inuktitut, and others. The utilization of this particular Unicode character aids in the accurate representation of these languages in digital text, facilitating communication and preservation of cultural heritage. As the use of Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics is predominantly found within Indigenous communities and academic institutions, it plays a significant role in fostering linguistic diversity and cultural understanding. By utilizing U+14C4 in its appropriate context, it helps maintain the integrity of these languages and their unique scripts, allowing for continued communication and expression among Indigenous peoples and scholars around the world.
