Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᱾ has the Unicode code point U+1C7E. 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+1C7E to binary:
00011100 01111110
. 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 10111110

Description
The Unicode character U+1C7E, known as the OL CHIKI PUNCTUATION MUCAAD, plays a significant role in digital text, particularly within the Chikiti language. This script originates from the Chikiti people of Southern India and is used primarily for written communication among its speakers. U+1C7E serves as a unique punctuation mark in this language, helping to distinguish sentences, clauses, or other structural elements of the text. Its inclusion within the Unicode Standard ensures that digital platforms can accurately display and process Chikiti language content, promoting cross-platform compatibility and accessibility. By understanding the cultural, linguistic, and technical contexts surrounding U+1C7E, we can better appreciate its role in preserving and supporting diverse forms of written expression around the world.
