Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᱓ has the Unicode code point U+1C53. 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+1C53 to binary:
00011100 01010011
. 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 10010011

Description
The Unicode character U+1C53, known as OL CHIKI DIGIT THREE, is a part of the Ol Chiki script, which was developed in 1966 by Pandit Kakasaheb Kalelkar for the Scheduled Tribes of Andaman and Nicobar Islands in India. This character represents the number three in this unique writing system, used primarily for the Onge language. Ol Chiki is based on the Latin script and consists of 30 alphabetic characters, including ten digits. The U+1C53 OL CHIKI DIGIT THREE is often used to communicate numerical values in digital text within the context of the Onge culture, enabling a smooth exchange of information between members of this community who primarily rely on the Ol Chiki script for their linguistic needs.
