The Unicode character U+1C70, also known as OL CHIKI LETTER EDD, is a vital component of the Chikti script. Chikiti is an abugida writing system used predominantly in the Indian subcontinent, primarily for transcribing the Khorchand language. In digital text, U+1C70 plays a pivotal role in accurately representing the unique phonetic and semantic properties of the Khorchand language. The character is derived from the Brahmi script and has been widely adopted by various Dravidian languages, reflecting its cultural and linguistic significance. As part of the Unicode Standard, U+1C70 ensures the accurate representation and preservation of these languages in digital text, enabling global communication and fostering cultural diversity online.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7280 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+1C70. 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+1C70 to binary: 00011100 01110000. 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 10110000
