Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᐺ has the Unicode code point U+143A. 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+143A to binary:
00010100 00111010. 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 10010000 10111010

Description
U+143A is the Unicode code point for "CANADIAN SYLLABICS PWE." This character holds significant importance in the digital text world, particularly for those working with Canadian Aboriginal languages. In the Inuit, Cree, and Ojibwe languages, it represents a consonant-vowel syllabic structure which is essential for accurate transcription and translation of these dialects. The use of this character supports the preservation and promotion of Indigenous cultures in Canada by providing an essential tool for digital communication in these languages. In a broader sense, U+143A contributes to linguistic diversity online, as it allows for the representation of unique sounds and phonemes found in these underrepresented dialects.
