Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᓅ has the Unicode code point U+14C5. 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+14C5 to binary:
00010100 11000101. 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 10000101

Description
The Unicode character U+14C5, known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS NOO, plays a significant role in digital text representation, specifically within the context of Canadian Aboriginal languages. It is part of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block (U+14C0 to U+16C2), which includes 83 characters used to represent the phonetic structure of various Indigenous languages across Canada. The CANADIAN SYLLABICS NOO character, in particular, represents the sound 'oo' and is commonly employed in the writing systems of Cree, Ojibwe, Inuktitut, and other indigenous languages of North America. The use of Unicode characters like U+14C5 ensures that digital text accurately reflects the unique phonetic and cultural aspects of these languages, which are integral to maintaining and preserving their linguistic heritage. By adhering to the standards set forth by the Unicode Consortium, digital platforms can effectively support and contribute to the revitalization and growth of Indigenous language education and literature, fostering a deeper understanding of Canada's rich cultural history and fostering a greater sense of inclusivity in the digital realm.
