Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᔔ has the Unicode code point U+1514. 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+1514 to binary:
00010101 00010100. 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 10010100 10010100

Description
U+1514 is a unique character within the Unicode Standard, specifically classified under Canadian Syllabics. It holds significant importance for the Indigenous languages of Canada, particularly those utilizing the Cree syllabics script. This particular character, "Shoo," plays a vital role in digital text by representing phonetic elements that form part of the linguistic structure of these languages. The use of U+1514 enables proper encoding and representation of these languages' rich oral traditions, history, and cultural heritage in written form. It also facilitates communication within Indigenous communities and between them and broader society, while fostering the preservation and revitalization of these endangered languages. As part of the Canadian Syllabics group, U+1514 contributes to bridging the gap between traditional forms of expression and modern technology, reflecting the ongoing efforts to maintain linguistic diversity and cultural identity in the digital age.
