Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᒷ has the Unicode code point U+14B7. 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+14B7 to binary:
00010100 10110111. 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 10110111

Description
The Unicode character U+14B7, known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS WEST-CREE MWA, plays a vital role in digital text representation of the West Cree dialect of the Canadian Syllabics writing system. This script is predominantly used by Indigenous peoples in Canada for communication and cultural preservation. U+14B7 represents an individual phoneme or syllable within the Cree language, which belongs to the Algonquian language family. The character contributes to the accuracy of digital text encoding in this unique script system that has its roots in the Roman-based writing adapted by Christian missionaries for the purpose of translating religious texts and educating Indigenous peoples in North America. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in preserving and revitalizing these scripts, as they hold significant cultural value and serve to strengthen linguistic diversity.
