Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᓰ has the Unicode code point U+14F0. 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+14F0 to binary:
00010100 11110000
. 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 10110000

Description
The Unicode character U+14F0 represents the "CANADIAN SYLLABICS SII" in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block. This character is primarily used for digital text representation of the Canadian Aboriginal syllabic script, which is employed in the written form of several Algonquian languages spoken by Indigenous peoples in Canada, such as Cree, Ojibwe, and Inuit. The CANADIAN SYLLABICS SII character plays a crucial role in preserving and promoting the linguistic heritage of these communities. It is used to represent individual phonemes or syllables in these languages, facilitating communication among speakers and enabling the documentation and revitalization of Indigenous oral traditions and knowledge systems.
