Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᢌ has the Unicode code point U+188C. 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+188C to binary:
00011000 10001100. 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 10001100

Description
The Unicode character U+188C, known as "MONGOLIAN LETTER ALI GALI TTA," is a crucial component of the Mongolian script. In digital text, it serves as one of the 36 letters in the traditional Mongolian alphabet, which was first developed during the 12th century and has since been refined through centuries of linguistic evolution. U+188C represents an essential element in transcribing and translating texts from and into Mongolian, a language predominantly spoken in Mongolia but also used by some communities in Russia and China. In this context, the character carries significant cultural, linguistic, and historical value, providing a window into the rich tapestry of Mongolian literature, language, and heritage. The Unicode standard ensures that U+188C, along with other characters in the Mongolian script, is accurately represented and preserved across various digital platforms and devices, facilitating effective communication and preserving linguistic diversity on a global scale.
