Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᓌ has the Unicode code point U+14CC. 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+14CC to binary:
00010100 11001100. 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 10001100

Description
The Unicode character U+14CC, known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS WEST-CREE NWA, plays a significant role in digital text, particularly in the representation of Indigenous languages. This specific glyph is part of the Canadian Syllabics block, which encompasses 350 characters used to write various First Nations languages across Canada. The West-Cree dialect, represented by this character, is predominantly spoken by the Cree people living in the provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. U+14CC is crucial for preserving cultural heritage, as it allows for the accurate documentation and transmission of traditional oral narratives, historical records, and contemporary conversations in these dialects. Its use in digital text also supports linguistic research, education, and the revitalization efforts for Indigenous languages in Canada.
