Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᠢ has the Unicode code point U+1822. 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+1822 to binary:
00011000 00100010
. 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 10100010
MONGOLIAN LETTER I·U+1822

Description
The Unicode character U+1822, known as "MONGOLIAN LETTER I", plays a significant role in the Mongolian script system. It is one of the 36 characters in the Extended Mongolian script block introduced by Unicode version 5.1 in 2007. In this script, each character represents both a consonant and an inherent vowel, making it different from other scripts where vowels are usually added as separate diacritics or written alongside the letters. The Mongolian script is used predominantly for writing the Mongolian language which has over 6 million speakers worldwide, primarily in Mongolia but also among Mongolian diaspora communities. Therefore, understanding and being able to use this character is crucial in digital text processing and translation systems that deal with Mongolian language content.
