Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᐍ has the Unicode code point U+140D. 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+140D to binary:
00010100 00001101. 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 10001101

Description
U+140D, known as the Canadian Syllabics West-Cree WE character, is a crucial element in the West Cree dialect of the Canadian Syllabic writing system. As part of the Unicode Standard, this character enables accurate representation and communication of the West Cree language digitally. The West Cree dialect, spoken predominantly in Western Canada, is one of 12 dialects in the larger Cree language family. U+140D, alongside other Canadian Syllabics characters, plays a pivotal role in preserving and promoting Indigenous culture and linguistic heritage. Its usage in digital text ensures that the West Cree language remains accessible to both speakers and learners of the dialect, fostering linguistic diversity and cultural understanding.
