Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᢈ has the Unicode code point U+1888. 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+1888 to binary:
00011000 10001000. 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 10001000

Description
The Unicode character U+1888, known as Mongolian Letter Aligali I, holds a significant position in the realm of typography and digital text. As part of the Mongolian script, it serves as a fundamental component for encoding written Mongolian text in the modern era. In linguistic contexts, this character plays an essential role in expressing various sounds and phonetic structures unique to the Mongolian language, which is primarily spoken in Mongolia but also has native speakers in China, Russia, and other countries with Mongolian ethnic groups. The Mongolian script, which is distinct from both the Cyrillic and Latin alphabets, is a complex syllabary featuring 24 consonants and 13 vowels. As such, U+1888 contributes to preserving and advancing the rich cultural heritage of Mongolia by enabling accurate digital representation of its language. The use of this character in software, websites, and digital documents aids in ensuring the accessibility and authenticity of Mongolian text for both native speakers and learners alike.
