Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᱜ has the Unicode code point U+1C5C. 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+1C5C to binary:
00011100 01011100. 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 10011100

Description
The Unicode character U+1C5C, known as the OL CHIKI LETTER AG, is a letter in the Ol Chiki script. Developed by American missionary William Laduska in 1931, this script was created for use among the Oraon people of India, specifically for the Santhal language. Its role in digital text primarily serves to represent one of the 28 letters within the Ol Chiki alphabet, which is designed to be phonetic and easily learned by those unfamiliar with the written form. The Ol Chiki script has been widely used for religious texts, literacy education, and official documents among the Santhal community in India. Today, U+1C5C remains an essential character in digital text representation of the Oraon language, contributing to its preservation and promotion within this cultural context.
