Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᒿ has the Unicode code point U+14BF. 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+14BF to binary:
00010100 10111111. 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 10010010 10111111

Description
U+14BF is the Unicode code point for the "CANADIAN SYLLABICS SAYISI M" character. In digital text, this glyph represents a unique sound in the Canadian Aboriginal syllabic writing system, which is primarily used by Indigenous peoples in Canada to transcribe their languages. The Canadian Aboriginal syllabics are a set of 21 orthographic alphabets that are based on the Cree script and have been adapted for various other First Nations and Inuit languages. Each character in this system represents either a consonant-vowel (CV) or a vowel pair, with the character U+14BF specifically representing the sound "sayisi" or "sī," depending on its context within a word. The Canadian Syllabics font is an essential tool for preserving Indigenous languages and promoting literacy among these communities. In summary, U+14BF plays a vital role in digital text by enabling accurate representation of the rich linguistic diversity found within Canada's Indigenous cultures.
