Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᱚ has the Unicode code point U+1C5A. 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+1C5A to binary:
00011100 01011010. 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 10011010

Description
U+1C5A, the Ol Chiki Letter La, is a character that holds significant importance in digital text representation. This Unicode character is primarily used in the Ol Chiki script, an alphasyllabary developed by Pandit Ardhendu Vats in the early 20th century for the Santali language spoken by the indigenous Santal people in India and Bangladesh. The Ol Chiki script, which was designed to be phonetic and easy to learn, allows for a more accurate and precise representation of the Santali language, facilitating literacy and cultural preservation among its speakers. In digital text, U+1C5A is utilized to accurately transcribe the unique sounds and syllables of Santali, contributing to the rich linguistic diversity and heritage of the region.
