Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᡡ has the Unicode code point U+1861. 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+1861 to binary:
00011000 01100001
. 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 10100001

Description
The Unicode character U+1861 represents the Mongolian script letter Sibe U (ᠰ). This character is commonly used in digital text for typography purposes within the Mongolian language, specifically in the traditional script known as the Old Mongolian or Khalkha script. The script originated in the 13th century and has since evolved to include several variant forms, with Sibe U being one of them. Although not widely used today, the Mongolian script holds significant cultural importance as a historical representation of the written language in Mongolia. In modern digital text, characters like Sibe U contribute to the preservation and study of ancient scripts, providing valuable insight into linguistic and cultural development throughout history.
