Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᑎ has the Unicode code point U+144E. 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+144E to binary:
00010100 01001110. 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 10010001 10001110

Description
The character U+144E (CANADIAN SYLLABICS TI) is a glyph used primarily in the Canadian Syllabics encoding scheme, which represents the written form of various Indigenous languages in Canada. This specific character, "TI," typically denotes a syllable ending in the sound 'ti' or 'tii.' In digital text, U+144E serves as a vital component for accurate transcription and representation of these languages, enabling effective communication and preservation of cultural heritage. The Canadian Syllabics script holds great significance to Indigenous communities across Canada, as it was developed in the mid-19th century by missionary and linguist Rev. James Evans. By incorporating U+144E into digital platforms, we can foster greater understanding and appreciation for these unique languages and their rich cultural histories.
