Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᓾ has the Unicode code point U+14FE. 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+14FE to binary:
00010100 11111110. 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 10111110

Description
The Unicode character U+14FE represents the "Canadian Syllabics Swoo" (SWOO) in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block. This set of characters was designed to represent the 25 Inuktitut, Cree, Ojibway, and other Indigenous languages of Canada. U+14FE is typically used in digital text for encoding these languages, allowing for more accurate and authentic representation of their sounds and meanings. The use of this character contributes to preserving and promoting the linguistic heritage of Indigenous communities in Canada while also fostering cultural sensitivity and understanding in diverse digital communication environments.
