Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᓶ has the Unicode code point U+14F6. 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+14F6 to binary:
00010100 11110110. 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 10110110

Description
U+14F6 is a character from the Unicode Canadian Syllabics block, representing the phoneme /s/ in the Cree language. In digital text, it typically serves as a component of larger syllabic glyphs used in written Cree and other Canadian Indigenous languages. This character plays an important role in preserving and promoting indigenous linguistic heritage and cultural identity. The Unicode Canadian Syllabics block comprises characters designed to accurately represent the unique phonetic properties of these languages, which differ significantly from the Latin script. U+14F6 is one such character, contributing to the accurate transcription and communication of Cree language expressions in digital environments.
