Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᓋ has the Unicode code point U+14CB. 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+14CB to binary:
00010100 11001011. 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 10001011

Description
The Unicode character U+14CB, known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS NWA, plays a crucial role in digital texts involving the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics script. This script is used primarily for written communication within Indigenous communities across Canada, particularly among the Cree, Ojibwe, and other Algonquian-speaking peoples. The CANADIAN SYLLABICS NWA character represents a specific phoneme in the syllabic system and enables accurate transcription of words and sentences in these languages. As part of the Unicode Standard, U+14CB ensures consistent and widespread support for Canadian Aboriginal syllabics across various digital platforms, fostering the preservation and promotion of Indigenous linguistic heritage and culture.
