Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᱔ has the Unicode code point U+1C54. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+1C54 to binary:
00011100 01010100
. 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 10010100

Description
The Unicode character U+1C54, also known as "OL CHIKI DIGIT FOUR," primarily serves a role in digital text for representing a numeric value within the Chikiti script. This numeral system is part of the Odia (formerly known as Oriya) writing system, predominantly used in the Indian states of Odisha and parts of West Bengal. The character U+1C54 specifically represents the digit '4' in the Chikiti numerals. Its usage within the Chikiti script allows for the accurate representation of numbers in this unique and historical language. While the Chikiti script has limited usage today, it remains an important aspect of cultural heritage and linguistic preservation. The Unicode character U+1C54 contributes to the digital representation of this script and supports efforts to maintain and promote the cultural significance of the Odia language and its various scripts.
