Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᱛ has the Unicode code point U+1C5B. 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+1C5B to binary:
00011100 01011011. 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 10011011

Description
The Unicode character U+1C5B, known as the "OL CHIKI LETTER AT," holds a significant position in digital text for specific languages and scripts. It is predominantly used within the OL CHIKI script, a lesser-known writing system that belongs to the Ethiopic family of scripts. The OL CHIKI script was historically employed by speakers of the Chiki language, which was primarily spoken in the Chad region of Africa before the 19th century. Although it is rarely used today, its presence within digital text still serves as a vital means of preserving and promoting linguistic heritage. The character U+1C5B plays an important role in maintaining the unique cultural identity of the Chiki language and its speakers. By accurately representing this distinctive letter, Unicode facilitates the documentation, research, and revitalization efforts for endangered languages like Chiki. Overall, the Unicode character U+1C5B serves as a testament to the vast diversity of human language and the ongoing commitment to preserving linguistic heritage in the digital age.
