Description

The character U+1C69, known as the OL CHIKI LETTER LU, holds a significant position within the realm of digital text, particularly in the context of typography and Unicode standardization. As an integral part of the Ol Chiki script, it serves to represent the distinct sounds and phonetics unique to the Santali language, primarily spoken by the indigenous people of India's states of Jharkhand, West Bengal, and Odisha. U+1C69 finds its application within digital text by enabling accurate representation of the Ol Chiki script in various computing platforms and software, thereby facilitating communication and preserving cultural heritage.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7273 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout

    The character has the Unicode code point U+1C69. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0800 to 0xffff.

    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 the x are the payload bits.

    UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range
    Codepoint RangeBytesBit patternPayload length
    U+0000 - U+007F10xxxxxxx7 bits
    U+0080 - U+07FF2110xxxxx 10xxxxxx11 bits
    U+0800 - U+FFFF31110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx16 bits
    U+10000 - U+10FFFF411110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx21 bits
  2. Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:

    Convert the hexadecimal code point U+1C69 to binary: 00011100 01101001. Those are the payload bits.

  3. 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 10101001
