Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᓎ has the Unicode code point U+14CE. 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+14CE to binary:
00010100 11001110. 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 10001110

Description
The Unicode character U+14CE, known as "CANADIAN SYLLABICS WEST-CREE NWAA", plays a significant role in digital text representation, particularly within the context of Canadian Aboriginal languages. Specifically, this character is used to represent phonetic elements in the West-Cree dialect, which is part of the larger Cree language family spoken by various Indigenous communities across Canada. The Unicode standard was specifically designed to encompass a wide range of characters, including those from less commonly represented languages, thereby promoting cultural preservation and facilitating digital communication among these groups. In its usage, U+14CE is integral in transcribing and translating the West-Cree dialect accurately for both native speakers and learners alike, contributing to the rich linguistic heritage of Canada's Indigenous peoples.
