Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᠪ has the Unicode code point U+182A. 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+182A to binary:
00011000 00101010
. 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 10100000 10101010
MONGOLIAN LETTER BA·U+182A

Description
The Unicode character U+182A, known as Mongolian Letter Ba, is a key component of the Mongolian script system. This script has been widely used since the 13th century in the Mongolian language for both written and digital texts. In the context of typography, the Mongolian script, including U+182A, is known for its vertical orientation and distinctive characters that are written from top to bottom and right to left. Each character carries a specific phonetic value in the Mongolian language. U+182A, or Mongolian Letter Ba, represents a consonant sound in the script and plays an important role in creating meaningful words and sentences in Mongolian. This character, as part of the wider Mongolian script system, is essential for the accurate representation and translation of historical, cultural, and linguistic content related to the Mongolian language.
