Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᓉ has the Unicode code point U+14C9. 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+14C9 to binary:
00010100 11001001. 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 10001001

Description
The Unicode character U+14C9, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS NWE, holds a significant role within the realm of digital typography. This particular symbol is one of the 56 characters in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, which was added to the Unicode Standard in Version 3.0 in 1998. It primarily serves as a representation for the syllabic phoneme /nwe/ in the Cree language, one of the most widely spoken Indigenous languages in Canada. The syllabics system is based on the Roman script and is used to transcribe the various First Nations' languages across Canada. In the digital text environment, U+14C9 ensures correct representation and accessibility for readers who are fluent in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics or those studying these indigenous languages. Its accurate representation helps maintain linguistic integrity and supports cultural preservation efforts.
