Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᱖ has the Unicode code point U+1C56. 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+1C56 to binary:
00011100 01010110. 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 10010110

Description
The Unicode character U+1C56, also known as OL CHIKI DIGIT SIX, is a unique numeral in the Ol Chiki script. This script was developed by Dr. William H. Bock for the Santali people of India and Bangladesh, who have used it since 2003. In digital text, U+1C56 serves as one of the ten digits in the Ol Chiki numeral system, representing the number six. Its role is essential in written communication, especially in mathematical equations, dates, and other numerical data within the Santali language. As a unique character with cultural significance, U+1C56 contributes to the preservation and promotion of the Santali language, which is spoken by millions of people in India's eastern states and Bangladesh. In summary, U+1C56 is an integral part of the Ol Chiki script, representing the numeral six and playing a vital role in digital text for the Santali language and its speakers.
