Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᠺ has the Unicode code point U+183A. 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+183A to binary:
00011000 00111010. 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 10111010

Description
The Unicode character U+183A, known as "MONGOLIAN LETTER KA," plays a significant role in the Mongolian script. In digital text, this character serves as one of 29 letters used to represent the sounds of the Mongolian language. This particular letter is essential for maintaining linguistic accuracy when transcribing and translating texts between English and Mongolian. The Mongolian script, which has its roots in the Tibetan script, is unique in that each letter can be modified by diacritics to represent different sounds. U+183A specifically represents the sound "k" or "ka" in the Mongolian language, reflecting a cultural and linguistic context that dates back centuries. As a typographer or someone working with Unicode, it is crucial to accurately utilize characters like U+183A when dealing with Mongolian text to ensure proper communication and understanding across languages.
