Description

The Unicode character U+1C61 is designated as the "OL CHIKI LETTER AAJ." It holds a significant position in digital text representing letters from the Chikiti script, an abugida writing system employed primarily for the Khodiyar language. The Chikiti script is predominantly used in the Indian state of Gujarat. As an integral part of this script, U+1C61 is utilized to represent specific sounds or phonemes within the Khodiyar language. Its accuracy and precision are vital for preserving linguistic integrity and cultural identity in digital communication. By incorporating this character into their work, professionals in typography and linguistics can effectively contribute to the globalization of less-represented languages and scripts.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7265 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout

    The character has the Unicode code point U+1C61. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0800 to 0xffff.

    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 the x are the payload bits.

    UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range
    Codepoint RangeBytesBit patternPayload length
    U+0000 - U+007F10xxxxxxx7 bits
    U+0080 - U+07FF2110xxxxx 10xxxxxx11 bits
    U+0800 - U+FFFF31110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx16 bits
    U+10000 - U+10FFFF411110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx21 bits
  2. Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:

    Convert the hexadecimal code point U+1C61 to binary: 00011100 01100001. Those are the payload bits.

  3. 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 10100001
