Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᒗ has the Unicode code point U+1497. 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+1497 to binary:
00010100 10010111. 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 10010010 10010111

Description
The character U+1497, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS WEST-CREE CWII, is an important element within the Unicode system. This specific character serves a significant role in digital text, particularly in the field of linguistics and cultural preservation. It is a component of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block within the Unicode character set, which represents the writing systems of various Indigenous languages across Canada. The West-Cree syllabic script was developed by missionaries in the 19th century as a means to transcribe the Cree language, and each symbol represents a syllable, rather than a single phoneme or letter found in the Latin alphabet. The use of U+1497 in digital text allows for accurate representation of West-Cree texts, thus preserving and promoting the rich cultural heritage of the West-Cree people. In conclusion, the character U+1497 holds a vital place within Unicode, acting as an essential tool for digital communication in the West-Cree language and contributing to linguistic diversity on a global scale.
