Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᑅ has the Unicode code point U+1445. 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+1445 to binary:
00010100 01000101. 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 10010001 10000101

Description
U+1445, also known as "Canadian Syllabics West-Cree PWA," is a character from the Unicode Standard that represents a specific phonetic element within the Cree language. This character plays a crucial role in digital text by facilitating accurate transcription and communication of the West-Creek dialect, which is part of the larger Algonquian family of languages spoken predominantly in Canada. The use of Unicode characters like U+1445 enables the preservation and promotion of linguistic diversity, especially for indigenous languages that have historically been underrepresented in digital communication. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard reflects a growing recognition of the importance of diverse scripts and dialects in the global exchange of information.
