Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᐝ has the Unicode code point U+141D. 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+141D to binary:
00010100 00011101. 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 10011101

Description
U+141D (CANADIAN SYLLABICS Y-CREE W) is a specialized character in the Unicode standard, specifically designed to represent the Y-Cree phoneme "W" within the Canadian Syllabics script. This character plays an important role in digital text by enabling accurate representation of the Y-Cree language, which is part of the larger Cree language family spoken by various Indigenous communities across Canada. The use of Unicode characters like U+141D helps preserve and promote linguistic diversity, as well as facilitate communication and cultural exchange among speakers of these languages. In technical terms, U+141D is encoded in the Unicode Standard version 3.0 and above, which ensures its compatibility with a wide range of text encoding systems and applications, thereby contributing to its accessibility and usability across digital platforms.
