Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᡘ has the Unicode code point U+1858. 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+1858 to binary:
00011000 01011000
. 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 10011000
MONGOLIAN LETTER TODO GAA·U+1858

Description
The Unicode character U+1858, known as "MONGOLIAN LETTER TODO GAA," holds a significant role in the Mongolian language. In digital text, it is used to represent the phonetic sound /t/, which forms part of various words and sentences within Mongolian literature. This particular letter contributes to the unique character set of the Mongolian script, which has its origins in the 13th century under the influence of the Turkic and Uyghur scripts. The Unicode Consortium, responsible for the creation and maintenance of the Unicode Standard, has made it possible for digital communication and data storage to include a diverse range of scripts like Mongolian, thereby facilitating cross-cultural understanding and exchange.
