Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᱝ has the Unicode code point U+1C5D. 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+1C5D to binary:
00011100 01011101. 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 10011101

Description
The Unicode character U+1C5D, known as the Ol Chiki Letter ANG, holds a vital position within the Ol Chiki script, an abugida used for writing the Santali language. Developed by Reverend Richard E. Pound in the early 20th century for documenting and promoting the cultural identity of the Santal people, this script is unique as it uses a geometric style rather than the more common cursive scripts found in other Indian languages. In digital text, the Ol Chiki Letter ANG serves as a crucial component for transcribing words accurately in the Santali language. Its inclusion in Unicode helps to maintain and promote linguistic diversity while enabling interoperability across various platforms and applications. The use of Ol Chiki script, including the character U+1C5D, carries immense cultural significance, as it represents a rich linguistic heritage that continues to evolve and adapt in the contemporary world.
