Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᱫ has the Unicode code point U+1C6B. 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+1C6B to binary:
00011100 01101011. 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 10101011

Description
The Unicode character U+1C6B, known as the "OL CHIKI LETTER UD," holds significant importance within the context of digital text representation for certain languages. It is specifically designated to represent the letter "U" in the Ol Chiki script, an alphasyllabic writing system used primarily by the Santal people, native to regions such as Bihar and Jharkhand in India. The Ol Chiki script was developed by Dr. Ranchorish Das in the 1930s, providing a valuable tool for literacy among the Santali community who previously relied on oral tradition. In digital text, U+1C6B enables accurate and consistent encoding of text data for languages using the Ol Chiki script, facilitating the preservation and promotion of cultural heritage. The character's role in digital typography highlights the importance of comprehensive Unicode coverage to support diverse linguistic and cultural contexts worldwide.
