Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᓆ has the Unicode code point U+14C6. 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+14C6 to binary:
00010100 11000110. 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 10000110

Description
The Unicode character U+14C6 represents the "Canadian Syllabics Y-CREE NOO" (CY053) in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block. This character is primarily used in digital text to represent a phoneme or sound unit in the Cree language, which is an Algonquian language predominantly spoken by Indigenous peoples in Canada. The Cree script, which consists of 24 characters, was developed in the early 1940s as part of a governmental initiative to promote literacy among First Nations communities. U+14C6 specifically represents the nasalized version of the 'oo' sound and is used in various dialects of the Cree language, including Plains Cree, Woods Cree, and Swampy Cree. The character is essential for accurate representation and communication within these linguistic contexts and contributes to preserving the cultural heritage of Indigenous communities in Canada.
