Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᠬ has the Unicode code point U+182C. 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+182C to binary:
00011000 00101100
. 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 10101100

Description
The character U+182C, known as Mongolian Letter Qa (᠊), is a vital component of the traditional Mongolian script, which is called "Mongolian Square Script" or "Khalkha Script." This ancient writing system has been in use since the 13th century and is primarily utilized for writing the Mongolian language. U+182C serves as one of the 29 consonant characters in this script, representing a specific phoneme or sound in the Mongolian language. Its typical usage in digital text involves encoding and displaying Mongolian texts in various applications, websites, and software systems that support Unicode. U+182C holds a significant position in maintaining cultural heritage and linguistic continuity for Mongolian speakers, as it enables the accurate representation of their language in written form.
