Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+1C8F. 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+1C8F to binary:
00011100 10001111
. 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 10110010 10001111

Description
U+1C8F, known as the "Mongolian Script Character," is a symbol predominantly used in the Mongolian script. This character has an essential role in digital text, particularly within the Mongolian language system, which utilizes this unique alphabet. The Mongolian script itself is part of the Tibetan script family and was introduced to the Mongols during the 13th century under Genghis Khan's rule. U+1C8F plays a crucial role in transmitting and preserving linguistic heritage, cultural identity, and traditional literature. In digital text, this character ensures accurate representation and communication of the Mongolian language, which is spoken by millions worldwide, particularly in Mongolia and certain regions of China, Russia, and other neighboring countries. U+1C8F contributes to the overall accessibility, readability, and preservation of Mongolian cultural heritage in the digital age.
