Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᱬ has the Unicode code point U+1C6C. 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+1C6C to binary:
00011100 01101100
. 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 10101100

Description
U+1C6C, also known as the OL CHIKI LETTER UNN, is a character predominantly utilized within the Ol Chiki script. The Ol Chiki script is an abugida, or alphasyllabic writing system, developed by Pandurang Sadashiv Wagle for the Scheduled Tribes of Andaman and Nicobar Islands in India. U+1C6C is a consonant-vowel letter combination, where the consonant "U+1C6A" and the vowel "U+1C83" are combined to form a single phonetic unit. In digital text, this character serves as a fundamental element in transcribing and preserving the indigenous languages of the Andaman Islands, thereby playing an essential role in cultural preservation and linguistic diversity. The Ol Chiki script is written from left-to-right, and each consonant has an associated set of vowel characters that can be attached above or below it to form syllables. U+1C6C, like other characters in the Ol Chiki script, is crucial for accurate representation of spoken language in written form, aiding in communication among tribal communities and bridging cultural gaps.
