Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᑘ has the Unicode code point U+1458. 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+1458 to binary:
00010100 01011000. 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 10011000

Description
U+1458 Canadian Syllabics West-Cree Twe is a character from the Unicode standard, a set of characters used in digital text representation. This specific glyph is part of the Canadian Syllabics block, which consists of 277 characters that represent a writing system developed for Indigenous languages in Canada. The West-Cree Twe character holds significant linguistic and cultural importance as it represents a unique sound or syllable in the West Cree dialect of the Cree language, an Algonquian language spoken by the Cree people across parts of Canada. In digital texts, U+1458 enables the accurate representation and communication of Cree languages, fostering literacy, cultural preservation, and linguistic diversity. By accurately representing these sounds in text, the Unicode character set plays a vital role in preserving Indigenous cultures and promoting language revitalization efforts within the Cree-speaking communities.
