Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᓱ has the Unicode code point U+14F1. 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+14F1 to binary:
00010100 11110001. 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 10110001

Description
The Unicode character U+14F1, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS SO, plays a significant role in the digital representation of the Canadian Syllabic writing system. This unique script is predominantly used by Indigenous peoples of Canada, particularly the Cree, Ojibwe, Inuit, and other communities who have historically relied on this system for oral and written communication. U+14F1 falls under the category of "Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics" in Unicode, which comprises 679 characters essential to represent various phonetic sounds in these languages. In digital texts, U+14F1 serves as a crucial component to ensure accurate representation and understanding of these diverse linguistic expressions, thus fostering inclusivity and respect for Indigenous cultures and their histories.
