Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᡳ has the Unicode code point U+1873. 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+1873 to binary:
00011000 01110011
. 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 10100001 10110011

Description
U+1873 (MONGOLIAN LETTER MANCHU I) is a character in the Unicode standard that represents a specific letter used in the Manchu script. The character serves as a significant element in digital text, enabling accurate representation and communication of the Manchu language. Manchu, an extinct Tungusic language spoken by the Manchu people, played a crucial role in shaping the historical and cultural landscape of northeastern Asia, particularly during the rule of the Qing Dynasty in China. Despite its extinction, the Manchu script remains a valuable resource for linguists and historians studying the influence of the Manchu culture on Chinese history. The digital representation of U+1873 (MONGOLIAN LETTER MANCHU I) and other characters from the Manchu script contributes to the preservation of this cultural heritage in the modern world, facilitating research and understanding of its unique linguistic features.
