Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᠍ has the Unicode code point U+180D. 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+180D to binary:
00011000 00001101. 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 10001101

Description
U+180D, or Mongolian Free Variation Selector Three (MONGOLIAN FREE VARIATION SELECTOR THREE), is a Unicode character that serves an essential role in digital text processing. Specifically, it functions as one of the six Free Variation Selectors, which are used in combination with characters from different scripts to ensure correct display and interpretation by various software applications. This includes typesetting systems, word processors, and web browsers. The primary purpose of these selectors is to facilitate the accurate rendering of text for languages that share similar glyphs but differ in their underlying character encoding or Unicode values. U+180D, as part of the Mongolian script family, helps maintain the integrity of digital text in scenarios where characters from different scripts need to coexist within a single text body.
