Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᒛ has the Unicode code point U+149B. 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+149B to binary:
00010100 10011011. 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 10011011

Description
U+149B, the Canadian Syllabics West-Cree CWOO character, plays a significant role in digital text as part of the Unicode Standard. This character is essential for representing the West Cree dialect within the larger group of Canadian Aboriginal Syllabic scripts. The West Cree dialect, spoken primarily by the West Cree and West Montagnais communities in Quebec, Canada, serves as a vital tool for preserving and promoting Indigenous culture and linguistic heritage. By utilizing U+149B and other Canadian Syllabics characters, digital text can accurately depict these unique languages, fostering communication and cultural exchange among diverse populations. In technical terms, the Unicode character encodes the West Cree script in a standardized format that enables compatibility across different software systems and platforms, ensuring that this linguistic tradition remains accessible and relevant in the digital age.
