Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᱘ has the Unicode code point U+1C58. 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+1C58 to binary:
00011100 01011000. 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 10110001 10011000

Description
The Unicode character U+1C58, known as "OL CHIKI DIGIT EIGHT," holds a unique position within the digital text realm. This character is predominantly utilized in the Chikiti script, an abugida writing system primarily employed for the Chikiti language, spoken in parts of India. The Chikiti script's development can be traced back to the early 1980s and is known for its elegant design and efficient representation of sounds in the Chikiti language. As a digit character, U+1C58 represents the numeral 'eight' in the context of Chikiti numbering system, which forms an essential component of this script. The Unicode Consortium's inclusion of the Chikiti script in its standard (Unicode 3.0) reflects its commitment to supporting and promoting a diverse range of languages and scripts worldwide.
