Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᒏ has the Unicode code point U+148F. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+148F to binary:
00010100 10001111
. 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 10010010 10001111

Description
U+148F is a Canadian Syllabics Y-Cree Coo character in the Unicode Standard. This character, which is part of the Cree syllabics block, primarily serves its role in digital text by representing the phonetic sound "coo" in the Y-dialect of the Cree language. The Cree language is an Algonquian language spoken mainly in Canada and is divided into various dialects like Eastern Cree, Western Cree, and Northern Cree, among others. The use of Unicode characters like U+148F helps preserve and promote Indigenous languages and their unique writing systems, fostering cultural heritage and linguistic diversity globally.
