Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᓳ has the Unicode code point U+14F3. 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+14F3 to binary:
00010100 11110011. 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 10110011

Description
U+14F3, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS Y-CREE SOO, is a character within the Unicode Standard that represents a specific syllabic unit in the Cree writing system. In digital text, this character is typically used to represent a single sound or syllable in the Cree language, which is an Indigenous Algonquian language spoken by the Cree people of North America. The use of U+14F3 helps maintain the accuracy and integrity of text written in the Cree language, as it allows for the representation of specific phonetic and linguistic characteristics that may not be present or accurately represented using standard Latin script. By accurately representing the sounds and syllables within the Cree language, U+14F3 contributes to the preservation and promotion of the linguistic heritage and cultural identity of the Cree people.
