Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᠂ has the Unicode code point U+1802. 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+1802 to binary:
00011000 00000010
. 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 10100000 10000010

Description
The Unicode character U+1802, known as the Mongolian Comma, is primarily utilized within the Mongolian script, serving a crucial role in digital text formatting for the Mongolian language. The Mongolian script, also referred to as the Traditional Mongolian Script or the Old Mongolian Script, originated during the 13th century and evolved over time. The U+1802 character specifically functions as a punctuation mark in the Mongolian script, similar to the Western comma in Latin-based languages. Its presence in digital text enhances readability, facilitating proper sentence structure and enabling clear communication for native and non-native speakers of the Mongolian language. As part of the Unicode Standard, the U+1802 Mongolian Comma ensures that this essential punctuation mark is accurately represented across various platforms, software, and applications globally.
