Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᱠ has the Unicode code point U+1C60. 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+1C60 to binary:
00011100 01100000. 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 10100000

Description
The Unicode character U+1C60, also known as the OL CHIKI LETTER AAK, plays a significant role in digital text by representing a specific letter in the Chikti script. The Chikti script is an abugida writing system used primarily for the Yansi language spoken by the Yansi people of Nigeria. U+1C60 is one of 30 characters that make up this script, which was introduced to Unicode in 2014 through version 7.0. The OL CHIKI LETTER AAK is a critical component for accurate transcription and translation efforts within the Yansi linguistic and cultural context. It helps maintain the integrity of written communication and facilitates meaningful exchanges between speakers of the Yansi language and those who are studying it. Additionally, the inclusion of U+1C60 in the Unicode Standard ensures proper encoding and display of digital text, thereby promoting global accessibility to diverse languages and scripts.
