Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᓽ has the Unicode code point U+14FD. 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+14FD to binary:
00010100 11111101. 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 10111101

Description
U+14FD, or CANADIAN SYLLABICS WEST-CREE SWO, is a character in the Unicode standard, specifically designed for representing West Cree syllabics in digital text. As part of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, this character plays a crucial role in preserving and promoting Indigenous languages across Canada, particularly within the Cree community. U+14FD is used to encode individual phonetic syllables that form words in the West Cree dialect, which is one of the many dialects spoken by Cree-speaking peoples in Canada. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard allows for accurate and consistent representation of these syllabics across different platforms, digital communication mediums, and programming languages, thereby contributing to linguistic preservation efforts and cultural awareness.
