Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᠋ has the Unicode code point U+180B. 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+180B to binary:
00011000 00001011. 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 10001011

Description
U+180B is the Unicode code point for "MONGOLIAN FREE VARIATION SELECTOR ONE". In the realm of digital text processing, this character plays a crucial role in typography and text encoding. It serves as a Free Variation Selector, which helps in the representation of characters that may have multiple glyphs in a specific script or language. This selector is used to instruct Unicode rendering engines to choose an appropriate variant of a character for display, depending on the context. In Mongolian typography, this character would typically be used as part of the Free Variation Selector series (U+180A through U+180D), enabling more accurate and culturally relevant rendering of text by selecting the correct form of a character based on the script or language in use. It is particularly useful when dealing with scripts where certain characters can have multiple acceptable forms, allowing for the selection of the most appropriate one for a given context. This ensures that digital texts adhere to cultural and linguistic norms, maintaining accuracy and readability across diverse typographical scenarios. Thus, U+180B is an essential tool in text encoding and rendering, contributing significantly to the precision and cultural sensitivity of digitally rendered typography.
