Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᢑ has the Unicode code point U+1891. 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+1891 to binary:
00011000 10010001
. 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 10100010 10010001

Description
The Unicode character U+1891, known as Mongolian Letter Alı Gali Da, is a significant element of the Mongolian script. In digital text, it serves as a fundamental building block for constructing words and sentences within this language. Mongolian, an important member of the Turkic language family, is predominantly spoken in Mongolia and has been the official language of the nation since 1921. U+1891 represents the specific phonetic sound "a" with a glottalized voiced alveolar stop, which is a complex consonant-vowel interaction that affects pronunciation. This character and its counterparts enable accurate transcription of Mongolian's intricate phonological and phonotactic characteristics in digital formats. Consequently, U+1891 is vital for the preservation and communication of Mongolia's rich cultural heritage and history, which relies heavily on its unique written form.
