Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᱲ has the Unicode code point U+1C72. 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+1C72 to binary:
00011100 01110010. 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 10110010

Description
U+1C72, also known as the OL CHIKI LETTER ERR, is a character within the Old Italic script block of the Unicode standard, specifically in the "Old Italic Extended" section. It is used primarily for digital text representation and encoding purposes, allowing for the accurate documentation and display of Old Italic texts, which were written using a group of related ancient Italian scripts between the 7th century BCE and the 1st century CE. The OL CHIKI LETTER ERR holds significance in linguistic and cultural contexts as it helps preserve and transmit knowledge about the history of Italy, particularly its pre-Roman and early Roman periods. Its technical role is to provide an accurate representation of this specific letter form within digital texts, facilitating proper encoding and processing for researchers, historians, and scholars working with Old Italic inscriptions and manuscripts.
