Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᓟ has the Unicode code point U+14DF. 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+14DF to binary:
00010100 11011111. 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 10011111

Description
U+14DF, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS WEST-CREE LWI, is a character within the Unicode Standard that holds significance in digital text representation of Canadian Aboriginal languages. Specifically, it represents the phonetic value 'Lwi' in the West Cree dialect, which is one of the 14 distinct dialects of the Cree language, predominantly spoken by Indigenous peoples residing in Canada. The character plays a vital role in preserving and promoting linguistic diversity, enabling accurate digital communication and documentation for these communities. U+14DF's inclusion in Unicode ensures that this important element of West Cree culture is not lost or misrepresented in the digital realm, further contributing to its cultural and linguistic context.
