Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+128F. 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+128F to binary:
00010010 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 10001010 10001111

Description
The Unicode character U+128F is an important symbol in digital typography, specifically within the Mongolian script. It represents the character "ழ" (Zh). In its typical usage, it serves as a critical element for encoding texts in Mongolian and other languages that utilize the Unicode Standard. The character holds significant cultural, linguistic, and technical importance due to its role in representing various words, phrases, or ideas within these languages. Its precise representation and accurate encoding ensure effective communication across different regions where these languages are spoken. This emphasizes the crucial nature of U+128F and other Unicode characters in facilitating global understanding and collaboration, without which modern digital text systems would struggle to accommodate the rich diversity of human languages.
