Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᐾ has the Unicode code point U+143E. 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+143E to binary:
00010100 00111110. 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 10111110

Description
U+143E, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS PWII, is a unique character within the Unicode standard, specifically used in digital text to represent a distinct sound unit in the Canadian Aboriginal syllabic writing system. The syllabics script is primarily used by the First Nations and Inuit communities of Canada, providing a crucial platform for indigenous language expression, literacy, and cultural preservation. As an essential element of this script, CANADIAN SYLLABICS PWII contributes to the phonetic representation of Cree, Ojibwe, Inuktitut, and other indigenous languages spoken across Canada. It is important to note that the character's usage is primarily within the context of these particular indigenous languages and not commonly found in other linguistic or cultural domains. The CANADIAN SYLLABICS PWII remains a vital component of digital text for its intended purpose, serving as a crucial tool for language revitalization, education, and communication among Canada's indigenous communities.
