Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᒢ has the Unicode code point U+14A2. 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+14A2 to binary:
00010100 10100010. 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 10100010

Description
U+14A2, or the CANADIAN SYLLABICS SAYISI TH character, is a typographic symbol primarily used in digital text for its specific role within the Canadian Syllabics character set. This character serves an essential function in representing the unique phonetic values of the Indigenous languages spoken across Canada, notably in the Inuktitut, Cree, and Ojibwe languages. In these contexts, U+14A2 is employed to accurately convey distinct syllabic sounds that cannot be adequately represented using the Latin script or other character sets. Furthermore, its inclusion in digital text contributes significantly to the preservation and promotion of Indigenous Canadian cultural heritage by providing a means for accurate representation and transmission of these languages through written communication.
