Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᐑ has the Unicode code point U+1411. 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+1411 to binary:
00010100 00010001. 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 10010001

Description
U+1411 (CANADIAN SYLLABICS WEST-CREE WII) is a character in the Unicode standard that represents a specific sound or phoneme in the West Cree dialect of the Canadian Syllabics writing system. This syllabic script was developed by missionaries in the 19th century to transcribe the various Cree and other Indigenous languages spoken across Canada, particularly in the region now known as Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and Ontario. U+1411 is used in digital text for writing and communication in these languages, serving a crucial role in preserving and promoting Indigenous cultural heritage and linguistic diversity. The character represents a distinct sound or phoneme, which helps to differentiate between words and meanings within the context of West Cree. By using this and other characters from the Canadian Syllabics block (U+1400-U+167F), writers can accurately convey complex linguistic structures and nuances that are unique to these Indigenous languages.
