Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᱕ has the Unicode code point U+1C55. 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+1C55 to binary:
00011100 01010101. 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 10010101

Description
The character U+1C55, known as the OL CHIKI DIGIT FIVE, holds significant importance in digital text due to its unique role in representing a numeral within the Ol Chiki script. Ol Chiki is an indigenous Braille-like script developed by Pandit Ranchhoddas Atmaram Vidyabhushan in 1964 for the Deaf and Dumb people of Andaman and Nicobar Islands, particularly the Sentinelese community. U+1C55 has a crucial function in digital communication within this linguistic system, enabling accurate expression and understanding of numerals as part of the Ol Chiki script. It is important to note that the usage and role of U+1C55 in digital text are deeply rooted in cultural, linguistic, and technical contexts that cater to a specific community with unique needs and requirements.
