Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᠖ has the Unicode code point U+1816. 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+1816 to binary:
00011000 00010110
. 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 10010110

Description
The character U+1816, or Mongolian Digit Six, plays a significant role in the realm of digital text by serving as a numeral within the Mongolian script system. This unique symbol holds cultural importance in regions such as Mongolia and certain parts of Inner Mongolia, where it is commonly used to represent the numerical value of six in both written and printed formats. The Mongolian script itself has historical roots dating back over 800 years, originating from the Uighur script and evolving into a distinct writing system that utilizes its own set of characters. In digital text applications, U+1816 ensures accuracy and clarity for those working with languages that employ unique numeral systems, such as Mongolian, thereby contributing to the richness and diversity of global communication.
