Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᡲ has the Unicode code point U+1872. 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+1872 to binary:
00011000 01110010
. 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 10110010

Description
U+1872 is a character in Unicode, which represents the Mongolian letter Sibe Zha (𑂢). This character plays an essential role in digital text, particularly within the Mongolian script system, which is used to write the Mongolian language. The Mongolian script was derived from the ancient Tibetan script and later adapted with influences from the Chinese script. As a letter of the Mongolian alphabet, Sibe Zha has a specific position in phonetic representation and helps convey distinct sounds in the language. It is important to note that the Mongolian script is primarily used in Inner Mongolia, a region within China, as well as among ethnic Mongols living in other parts of the world. Its usage reflects a rich cultural history and linguistic heritage that showcases the unique identity of the Mongolian people.
