Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᓝ has the Unicode code point U+14DD. 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+14DD to binary:
00010100 11011101. 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 10011101

Description
U+14DD, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS WEST-CREE LWE, is a character in the Unicode standard that represents a specific phoneme within the West Cree dialect of the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics script. This unique script was developed by missionaries and educators in the early 20th century to transcribe Cree, an Algonquian language widely spoken across Canada's northern regions. U+14DD plays a crucial role in digital text by enabling accurate communication and preservation of cultural heritage within West Cree communities. Its usage allows for the representation of various phonetic nuances essential to the proper understanding of the West Cree dialect, fostering language revitalization efforts. Overall, U+14DD serves as an important tool for maintaining linguistic diversity and promoting cultural awareness within the context of digital communication.
