Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᱤ has the Unicode code point U+1C64. 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+1C64 to binary:
00011100 01100100. 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 10100100

Description
The Unicode character U+1C64, known as the OL CHIKI LETTER LI, is a letter within the Ol Chiki script. This script was developed in 1957 by Christian S. Schoenfeld for use among the Oraon people of Ranchi, India, primarily to facilitate literacy and learning among tribal communities that did not have a written language. The Ol Chiki script is based on the Latin alphabet and consists of 36 letters, including vowels and consonants. In digital text, U+1C64 plays a vital role by representing the phoneme /l/ in the Ol Chiki writing system. Its typical usage involves forming words in this unique script that enables readers to comprehend messages written in the Oraon language. The cultural significance of U+1C64 and the Ol Chiki script is immense, as it empowers native speakers to read and write their language, preserving linguistic heritage and fostering a sense of identity among the tribal communities. In terms of technical context, U+1C64 is part of the Unicode Standard, which aims to provide a unique code point for every character in every written language, thus facilitating seamless digital communication across languages and platforms.
