Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᱗ has the Unicode code point U+1C57. 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+1C57 to binary:
00011100 01010111
. 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 10010111

Description
The Unicode character U+1C57 is known as the "OL CHIKI DIGIT SEVEN" and is used in the Ol Chiki script, an indigenous writing system created by Dr. Ranchhodkumar Pandya for the Adi people of Arunachal Pradesh, India. The Ol Chiki script was developed in 1964 to facilitate literacy among this tribal group, and its usage has since expanded beyond the Adi community. U+1C57, along with other characters in the Ol Chiki block (U+1C50-U+1C7F), plays a crucial role in transcribing the Adi language, which belongs to the Sino-Tibetan family and is spoken by over one million people in northeastern India. The digit seven represents the numeral value of "seven" in the Ol Chiki script, enabling accurate numerical representation and calculation within the language system.
