Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᱱ has the Unicode code point U+1C71. 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+1C71 to binary:
00011100 01110001. 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 10110001

Description
The Unicode character U+1C71 represents the "OL CHIKI LETTER EN" and is a part of the Ol Chiki script. This script was developed by Dr. Walter J. Hawkes, a linguist from the Summer Institute of Linguistics, in the early 1960s for writing the Santali language, which is spoken primarily in the Indian states of West Bengal, Bihar, and Odisha. The Ol Chiki script is based on the Latin alphabet and consists of 24 letters and several other characters, such as digits, punctuation marks, and symbols. U+1C71's role in digital text is to represent a specific sound or phoneme in the Santali language, contributing to the accurate representation and transmission of the language through various electronic mediums. Despite its relatively niche application, the inclusion of this character in Unicode reflects an ongoing effort to preserve and promote linguistic diversity across the world.
