Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᱧ has the Unicode code point U+1C67. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+1C67 to binary:
00011100 01100111
. 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 10100111

Description
The Unicode character U+1C67, also known as the OL Chiki Letter Iny, holds a unique position within the realm of typography and digital text representation. As part of the Ol Chiki script, which was developed for the Sarna language spoken by the indigenous Onge people in the Andaman Islands, it serves as a significant tool to preserve and promote this distinct cultural heritage. The Ol Chiki script was created in 1982 by Father Thomas Christian, a Catholic missionary, with the intention of making the Scripture available to these isolated communities. The OL Chiki Letter Iny represents one of the 23 consonant-vowel syllables within this alphabet system, adding depth and complexity to the written language. Its primary role is to facilitate communication among the Onge people, enabling them to express their cultural identity, history, and traditions in writing. In the context of digital text and typography, U+1C67 plays a crucial role in accurately transcribing and preserving the rich linguistic heritage of the Sarna language. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures compatibility across various platforms and devices, thereby enhancing accessibility and promoting further research and understanding of this unique script and culture.
