Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᓼ has the Unicode code point U+14FC. 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+14FC to binary:
00010100 11111100. 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 10111100

Description
The Unicode character U+14FC, known as the CANADIAN SYLLABICS SWO (Swampy Cree), is a symbol in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block. This character plays an essential role in digital text by representing a unique phoneme in the Swampy Cree language, which is part of the larger Algonquian family of languages. The Swampy Cree script was developed by missionaries in the late 19th century to transcribe the language and make it accessible for education and communication purposes. Today, this character remains significant for preserving cultural heritage and fostering linguistic diversity within Indigenous communities in Canada.
