Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᐚ has the Unicode code point U+141A. 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+141A to binary:
00010100 00011010. 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 10011010

Description
U+141A is a Canadian Syllabics West-Cree WAA character, which belongs to the Unicode standard for digital text representation. The West-Cree syllabic script was developed in the 19th century by missionaries to transcribe the Cree language spoken by indigenous peoples across Canada. U+141A specifically represents the syllable "WAA" within this script, serving as a building block for creating words and phrases in West-Cree. The character is crucial for preserving and promoting linguistic diversity, as it enables accurate digital representation of the Cree language, fostering communication and cultural exchange among its speakers. In the context of digital typography, U+141A contributes to inclusivity and accessibility by allowing proper rendering and manipulation of West-Cree text on devices and platforms that support Unicode characters.
