Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᡛ has the Unicode code point U+185B. 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+185B to binary:
00011000 01011011
. 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 10011011

Description
U+185B Mongolian Letter TODO NIA is a unique character within the Unicode Standard, primarily employed for its significant role in digital texts of the Mongolian script. This particular letter holds cultural, linguistic, and technical importance due to its inclusion in the Mongolian script, which was derived from the Tibetan script and incorporates elements from the Uighur, Chinese, and Manchu scripts. The Mongolian script is primarily used for writing the Mongolian language, predominantly spoken by ethnic Mongols in Mongolia and various other regions across Asia. While the exact origin of the TODO NIA letter remains unclear, its presence within this diverse and historically rich script highlights the evolving nature of written languages over time. As a key component of digital text representation, U+185B helps to preserve and promote the linguistic heritage and cultural identity of Mongolian-speaking communities worldwide.
