Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᢆ has the Unicode code point U+1886. 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+1886 to binary:
00011000 10000110
. 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 10000110

Description
U+1886, or Mongolian Letter Ali Galï Three Baluða, is a character within the Unicode standard that holds significance in digital text representation for the Mongolian script. Specifically, it belongs to the "Mongolian Supplement" block, which was added to Unicode 4.1 in 2005 to include additional characters needed for full coverage of the Mongolian script. The Ali Galï series of letters are unique in that they only appear at the end of a syllable and represent a final consonant, modifying the preceding vowel. In digital texts, U+1886 is used to accurately represent these characters, allowing for proper rendering of Mongolian text across different platforms and devices. While it may not be widely recognized outside of its cultural context, U+1886 plays a crucial role in maintaining the linguistic integrity of Mongolian digital texts, reflecting the richness and complexity of this unique script.
