Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᐽ has the Unicode code point U+143D. 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+143D to binary:
00010100 00111101. 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 10010000 10111101

Description
U+143D, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS WEST-CREE PWI, is a character within the Unicode Standard that represents a specific phoneme in the West Cree dialect of the Canadian Syllabics writing system. The Canadian Syllabics script is an alphasyllabary used to write the Cree and other Indigenous languages of Canada. Each character in this script corresponds to a syllable, which makes it particularly useful for transcribing the phonetic structure of these languages accurately. In digital text, U+143D serves as a crucial component to ensure proper rendering and understanding of West Cree texts, contributing to the preservation and revitalization of this important linguistic heritage. The character's role underscores the significance of the Canadian Syllabics script in maintaining the cultural identity and traditions of Indigenous communities in Canada.
