Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᢠ has the Unicode code point U+18A0. 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+18A0 to binary:
00011000 10100000
. 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 10100000

Description
U+18A0 Mongolian Letter Manchu Ali Gali Ta is a Unicode character primarily used in digital texts to represent the Manchu script, which was employed for writing the Manchu language. This language was historically spoken by the Manchus, an ethnic group that ruled over China during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912). Although the Manchu script is now considered obsolete and primarily used for linguistic and historical studies, U+18A0 remains a vital component in accurately encoding and displaying texts containing classical or historical Manchu content. As an expert in Unicode and typography, it's important to recognize the significance of this character in preserving and studying the cultural heritage of the Manchu people and their contributions to Chinese history.
