Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᓵ has the Unicode code point U+14F5. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+14F5 to binary:
00010100 11110101
. 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 10110101

Description
The Unicode character U+14F5 represents the "CANADIAN SYLLABICS SAA" in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block. This unique symbol is part of a set of characters used to represent the oral languages of the First Nations and Inuit peoples of Canada. Its typical usage in digital text involves encoding and displaying content in these Indigenous languages, allowing for the preservation and promotion of their cultural heritage. The Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block comprises 163 characters (U+14A0 to U+16FF), which include letters, diacritics, and punctuation specific to these languages. Although relatively obscure outside of Canada's Indigenous communities, the CANADIAN SYLLABICS SAA holds significant linguistic and cultural importance within those communities, reflecting their rich history and traditions.
