Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᱯ has the Unicode code point U+1C6F. 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+1C6F to binary:
00011100 01101111. 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 10101111

Description
The Unicode character U+1C6F, also known as the "OL CHIKI LETTER EP," holds significance in the realm of digital text as it is an essential component of the Ol Chiki script. Developed for the Sema people by Christian missionaries in the 1950s, this alphabet allows users to write and represent their language digitally with accuracy. Ol Chiki has been adopted by the Sema community, who primarily reside in India's Andaman and Nicobar Islands, as a means of preserving their linguistic heritage and cultural identity. The Unicode character U+1C6F is crucial for maintaining this tradition, as it represents a distinctive element of the Ol Chiki script.
