Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᱳ has the Unicode code point U+1C73. 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+1C73 to binary:
00011100 01110011. 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 10110011

Description
The Unicode character U+1C73 represents the "OL CHIKI LETTER LO" in digital text. This character is primarily used within the Ol Chiki script, which was developed by Pandit Nathuram Kakwani for the indigenous Sindhi language of India. Ol Chiki is an abugida, a writing system where each character represents a consonant with an inherent vowel. U+1C73 specifically denotes the consonantal sound "l" and typically comes with an inherent vowel "o". In this context, the OL CHIKI LETTER LO plays a crucial role in preserving the cultural and linguistic heritage of the Sindhi people. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures its representation in digital text, facilitating communication, documentation, and technological advancements for speakers of Sindhi language worldwide. The character's precise and accurate representation in digital format is essential to maintain the integrity of the Ol Chiki script, reflecting its importance within the linguistic landscape.
