Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᓙ has the Unicode code point U+14D9. 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+14D9 to binary:
00010100 11011001. 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 10010011 10011001

Description
U+14D9, also known as the CANADIAN SYLLABICS Y-CREE LOO character, plays a crucial role in digital text by representing a specific phoneme within the Cree language, one of the Algonquian languages spoken primarily in Canada. This character is part of the Unicode system, which allows for accurate and consistent representation of characters from a wide range of scripts and languages across different platforms and devices. The Y-CREE LOO character is used to transcribe and encode the sounds specific to the Y dialect of Cree, enabling users and software programs to accurately process and interpret digital texts in this language. This contributes to preserving and promoting cultural heritage, as well as facilitating communication among speakers of various dialects within the larger Cree-speaking community. In summary, U+14D9 serves as a vital component for accurate representation and encoding of the Y-CREE LOO phoneme in digital texts, enhancing linguistic preservation and communication in the broader context of the Canadian Indigenous languages.
