Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᠁ has the Unicode code point U+1801. 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+1801 to binary:
00011000 00000001. 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 10000001

Description
The Unicode character U+1801, known as Mongolian Ellipsis, plays a significant role in digital text, particularly in the Mongolian language. This ellipsis is unique because it combines the three dots of a traditional English ellipsis into a single visual element that resembles a triangular or trapezoidal shape. It symbolizes an intentional omission, pause, or trailing off of thoughts similar to its English counterpart. However, unlike the conventional English ellipsis which is used broadly in various languages and contexts for indicating pauses or unfinished sentences, Mongolian Ellipsis' usage is exclusive to the Mongolian language. It serves as an integral part of the typography system for Mongolian text, contributing to the overall readability and aesthetics of digital texts written in this script.
