Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᢝ has the Unicode code point U+189D. 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+189D to binary:
00011000 10011101. 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 10100010 10011101

Description
U+189D, or Mongolian Letter Manchu Aligali Jha, is a unique and significant character in the realm of digital text. As part of the Unicode Standard, it plays an essential role in representing the Manchu language, which has its roots in the ancient Turkic and Mongolic linguistic groups. Manchu, historically spoken by the Manchu people who ruled over China's Qing Dynasty (1644-1912), is now predominantly used by a small number of scholars and enthusiasts. This character specifically serves to represent the aligali jha sound in the language, a crucial aspect for accurate communication and preservation of this linguistic heritage. In terms of typography, U+189D follows the principles of Mongolian script, which combines elements from both vertical and horizontal writing systems, further showcasing its unique cultural identity. Today, the use of U+189D in digital text is primarily limited to academic research, historical preservation, and cultural exchange, reflecting its importance as a symbol of linguistic and cultural diversity.
