Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᢎ has the Unicode code point U+188E. 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+188E to binary:
00011000 10001110. 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 10001110

Description
The Unicode character U+188E, known as Mongolian Letter Aligali Dda (ᡲ), is a unique symbol in the Mongolian script. This script is predominantly used for writing the Mongolian language, which is primarily spoken in Mongolia and by ethnic Mongols in neighboring countries such as China, Russia, and Kazakhstan. U+188E specifically represents a specific consonant-vowel syllable block in the Mongolian script. In digital text, its typical usage is to represent this phonetic value in text, helping to maintain accuracy in transcription and communication of the Mongolian language. The Mongolian script, which includes U+188E among other unique characters, has a rich history dating back over 700 years, reflecting the cultural and linguistic heritage of the Mongolian-speaking communities. Despite the rise of digital text, the physical inscriptions of these characters can also be found in traditional Mongolian art forms such as Thangka painting and calligraphy, further showcasing the importance and continuity of this script in both written and artistic realms.
