Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ₮ has the Unicode code point U+20AE. 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+20AE to binary:
00100000 10101110. 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 10000010 10101110

Description
The Unicode character U+20AE represents the Tugrik Sign, a currency symbol primarily used to denote the Tugrik, the former official currency of Mongolia. It played a significant role in digital text prior to 1993 when the Mongolian Tugrik was replaced by the Mongolian Tögrög. The character is not widely used today due to its obsolete association with an outdated currency. However, it remains an important part of typography history, showcasing how characters can evolve over time alongside changes in global economies and monetary systems.
