Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᱥ has the Unicode code point U+1C65. 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+1C65 to binary:
00011100 01100101. 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 10100101

Description
The Unicode character U+1C65 represents the "OL CHIKI LETTER IS" and is part of the Ol Chiki script. This script was developed by the indigenous people of North Sentinel Island, one of the Andaman Islands in India. Introduced in 2009, this character is crucial for digital text representation in the Ol Chiki writing system, which is primarily used for written communication among these indigenous people. The Ol Chiki script was designed by anthropologist and linguist Verrier Elwin, providing a written form to a community that previously relied exclusively on oral traditions. U+1C65, along with other characters in the Ol Chiki Unicode block, enables the accurate representation of the Sentinelese language, preserving the cultural heritage of this indigenous community. In the context of digital text and typography, this character is significant for its role in accurately portraying the unique linguistic features of the Sentinelese people, promoting literacy and cultural preservation among this isolated community.
