Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᡠ has the Unicode code point U+1860. 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+1860 to binary:
00011000 01100000
. 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 10100000

Description
U+1860, the Mongolian Letter Sibe UE, is a unique character within the Unicode standard that holds significant cultural and linguistic value in digital text. As part of the Mongolian script, it plays an essential role in representing the Mongolic language group spoken by millions across Mongolia and parts of Russia. The Mongolic languages are characterized by their use of distinct scripts, such as the traditional Mongolian script that evolved from the Uighur script used in the 13th century under the rule of the Mongol Empire. The character U+1860 is specifically utilized within the context of the Sibe (or Soyot) language, which belongs to the Western branch of the Mongolic languages. The Sibe people inhabit regions in Russia, primarily in the Zabaykalsky Krai and Buryat Republic, where they have preserved their unique linguistic and cultural heritage despite historical influences from neighboring Turkic and Tungusic groups. Digital text encoding plays a crucial role in preserving and promoting these minority languages, as it allows for the sharing of knowledge and cultural expression across borders. The inclusion of U+1860 in the Unicode standard ensures that digital platforms and applications can accurately represent the Sibe script, thus supporting linguistic diversity and fostering global understanding and communication.
