Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᡨ has the Unicode code point U+1868. 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+1868 to binary:
00011000 01101000
. 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 10101000

Description
U+1868, the Mongolian Letter Sibe Ta, is a unique character within the Unicode Standard, specifically designed for representing the Mongolian script. In digital text, it holds a significant role in accurately translating and displaying Mongolian language content. The Mongolian script, which uses the Unicode block U+10000 to U+10255, consists of 27 letters and is predominantly used for writing in the Mongolian languages, primarily Khalkha and other dialects. As part of the extended Mongolian script, the Sibe Ta character contributes to the rich cultural and linguistic heritage of the Mongolian-speaking communities. While not as widely recognized as other scripts, U+1868 plays a vital role in maintaining the integrity of digital texts for these languages.
