Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᑽ has the Unicode code point U+147D. 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+147D to binary:
00010100 01111101. 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 10111101

Description
The Unicode character U+147D, known as "Canadian Syllabics West-Cree KwOO," holds a significant position in digital text related to the Canadian Indigenous languages. This specific character is part of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, which consists of 632 characters designed to represent the various syllabic scripts used by Indigenous peoples across Canada. U+147D represents a distinct syllable in the West-Cree dialect, contributing to the rich linguistic diversity of the Cree language family. The Cree language is an Algonquian language spoken by the Cree people, who are one of the largest groups of Indigenous peoples in Canada. By incorporating U+147D and other Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics characters into digital text, it becomes possible to accurately transcribe and communicate texts within these unique linguistic contexts, preserving cultural heritage and fostering greater understanding among diverse communities.
