Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᑠ has the Unicode code point U+1460. 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+1460 to binary:
00010100 01100000. 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 10100000

Description
The Unicode character U+1460 represents the "CANADIAN SYLLABICS WEST-CREE TWOO" in digital text. This character is a part of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, specifically from the West Cree subgroup. It is primarily used in the Cree language, an Algonquian language spoken by the Cree people indigenous to North America, predominantly in Canada. The Cree syllabics are a writing system that utilizes a combination of symbols and phonetic representations for vowels and consonants, which has facilitated literacy among speakers who may not have been exposed to traditional written forms of their language. U+1460 plays a crucial role in digital text by allowing accurate representation of the West Cree dialect in digital mediums such as websites, documents, and software applications. This character contributes to preserving and promoting the linguistic heritage and cultural identity of the West Cree-speaking community.
