Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+2E76. 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+2E76 to binary:
00101110 01110110
. 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:
11100010 10111001 10110110

Description
U+2E76 is a typographic character in the Unicode Standard, which represents the "MONGOLIAN VOWEL SEPARATOR." This character serves as a diacritic used primarily in Mongolian text to distinguish vowel sounds. The Mongolian script, known as the Uls, uses U+2E76 for phonetic clarity and distinction of vowels in digital text. It is crucial in the linguistic context of Mongolian language, as it helps maintain the integrity of words by separating vowels that would otherwise be conflated or misinterpreted. The use of U+2E76 contributes to accurate transcription and comprehension in digital text, especially for those familiar with the Mongolian script.
