Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᱷ has the Unicode code point U+1C77. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+1C77 to binary:
00011100 01110111
. 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 10110111

Description
The Unicode character U+1C77 represents the OL Chiki letter 'OH' (ᴸ), which plays a significant role in digital text within the Ol Chiki script. Ol Chiki, developed by Dr. M. S. Chinkyasheu Swai and introduced in 1964, is an alphabet created for the deaf community of the Nicobar Islands in India to facilitate written communication. U+1C77's usage contributes to this purpose, enhancing accessibility and fostering a rich cultural and linguistic heritage among the Nicobarese people.
