Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᱪ has the Unicode code point U+1C6A. 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+1C6A to binary:
00011100 01101010. 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 10101010

Description
U+1C6A, the OL CHIKI LETTER UC, is a character primarily used in typography for digital text representation. It plays a significant role in the Ol Chiki script, which was developed by Pandit Arvind Kumar Nand in 1982 as an alphabetical writing system for the Santali language spoken predominantly in the Indian states of Jharkhand and West Bengal. The Ol Chiki script has gained recognition due to its simplicity and effectiveness in transcribing the complex phonology of the Santali language. U+1C6A is a crucial component in preserving and promoting the linguistic heritage of the indigenous communities that speak Santali, as it helps maintain their cultural identity through written communication. In digital text, the character U+1C6A is used to accurately represent the phoneme /ʊ/, contributing to the overall intelligibility and clarity of text in the Santali language.
