Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᠃ has the Unicode code point U+1803. 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+1803 to binary:
00011000 00000011
. 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 10000011

Description
The Unicode character U+1803 is known as the Mongolian Full Stop, a typographical symbol used predominantly in the Mongolian language. It serves the same purpose as the standard period (U+002E) or full stop in English, signifying the end of a sentence or a pause in a text. However, U+1803 holds particular significance in Mongolian typography due to its unique shape, which is distinct from that of the Western full stop and resembles a combination of a dot and a downward-pointing triangle. This character is critical for accurately representing the linguistic nuances of Mongolian, as well as for maintaining the integrity of digital texts in Mongolia and among the Mongolian-speaking community worldwide. The usage of U+1803 contributes to a more culturally and linguistically authentic representation of Mongolian literature, ensuring that digital texts are accessible and understandable by native speakers.
