Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᡂ has the Unicode code point U+1842. 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+1842 to binary:
00011000 01000010. 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 10100001 10000010

Description
The Unicode character U+1842 represents the Mongolian letter Chi (᠂), which is used in the Mongolian script. This script, also known as the Old Script, was introduced during the 13th century under the rule of Genghis Khan and the Mongol Empire. It consists of 26 letters that are based on Chinese characters, with each letter representing a syllable or a consonant-vowel combination. U+1842 is a consonant in the script and has a typical usage in digital text for transcribing and translating Mongolian language content. Despite the widespread adoption of the Cyrillic script for Mongolian after the 16th century, the Mongolian script is still used in some contexts today, particularly for traditional purposes, such as religious texts, place names, and artistic expressions.
