Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᠵ has the Unicode code point U+1835. 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+1835 to binary:
00011000 00110101
. 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 10110101
MONGOLIAN LETTER JA·U+1835

Description
The Unicode character U+1835 represents the Mongolian letter "Ja" (ᠵ), a member of the extended Cyrillic script used in the Mongolian language. This script, also known as "Mongolian Cyrillic," was introduced in 1941 to replace the traditional Mongolian script for better compatibility with Russian and other Slavic languages during the Soviet era. U+1835 is used within digital text to represent the phoneme /ʝ/ or /d͡ʒ/, corresponding to the English sound "j" in words like "jump" or "judge." The character's role in Mongolian typography and orthography demonstrates the language's historical ties with Russia and other Slavic-speaking nations, as well as its modern efforts to maintain linguistic continuity while incorporating elements of various scripts and languages.
