Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᢖ has the Unicode code point U+1896. 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+1896 to binary:
00011000 10010110
. 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 10010110

Description
The Unicode character U+1896, known as "Mongolian Letter Ali Galí Za" (Монгол дсэх ᠠ), is a script from the Mongolian writing system used primarily in digital texts for the Mongolian language. In its cultural and linguistic context, it represents one of the 27 consonants of the traditional Mongolian script, which has been in use since the 13th century. The Mongolian script is a unique alphasyllabary consisting of 64 characters that represent both consonants and vowels. U+1896 specifically is utilized to denote the 'A' sound in the Mongolian language, playing a crucial role in preserving and promoting the rich linguistic heritage of the Mongolian culture.
