Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᓴ has the Unicode code point U+14F4. 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+14F4 to binary:
00010100 11110100. 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 10110100

Description
The Unicode character U+14F4, known as the "CANADIAN SYLLABICS SA," is a specialized glyph used primarily in digital text for representing phonetic elements within the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics script. This particular syllabic script serves as a writing system for various Indigenous languages across Canada, including Cree, Ojibwe, Inuktitut, and other Algonquian and Inuit languages. U+14F4 holds a crucial role in preserving and promoting these linguistic traditions by enabling accurate representation of distinct phonetic nuances within these diverse Indigenous languages. It is important to note that the Canadian Syllabics script has been widely adopted for educational purposes, as it serves as an essential tool for revitalizing and maintaining the rich cultural heritage and oral history of Indigenous communities in Canada.
