Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᠅ has the Unicode code point U+1805. 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+1805 to binary:
00011000 00000101
. 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 10000101

Description
The Unicode character U+1805, known as "MONGOLIAN FOUR DOTS," plays a significant role in the Mongolian language, which is primarily spoken in Mongolia and by ethnic Mongols in neighboring countries. In digital text, this character serves to represent a consonant-final syllable, where it follows the U+1804 "MONGOLIAN THREE DOTS" character. The Mongolian script, which was introduced in the 13th century by Dornodbaatar Chilarchand and later modified under the influence of Tibetan and Chinese scripts, is a unique writing system with a distinct set of rules for its characters. U+1805's inclusion in Unicode ensures that digital text can accurately represent Mongolian language nuances, facilitating communication and preserving linguistic heritage. The Mongolian script is not only essential to the Mongolian language but also serves as an important resource for studying historical linguistics and cross-cultural communication.
