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.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7287 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+1C77. 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+1C77 to binary: 00011100 01110111. 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 10110111
