Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᡉ has the Unicode code point U+1849. 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+1849 to binary:
00011000 01001001
. 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 10001001

Description
The Unicode character U+1849, known as the "MONGOLIAN LETTER TODO UE," holds significant importance within the realm of digital text. This unique character is specifically associated with the Mongolian script, which is used to represent the Mongolian language. The Mongolian script, in turn, belongs to a larger category of scripts known as alphasyllabaries, where each character represents a consonant-vowel syllable. U+1849 serves as one such character in this system. In terms of its cultural and linguistic context, the Mongolian script has played a vital role in preserving and transmitting the rich history, literature, and culture of the Mongolian people. The script's origins can be traced back to the 13th century when it was introduced by Chinggis Khan, the founder and first Great Khan of the Mongol Empire. Since then, the script has undergone various modifications, such as the incorporation of additional characters for phonetic or orthographic purposes. Technically speaking, U+1849 is part of the second supplement of the Unicode Standard, which encompasses additional characters needed to represent the Mongolian script. This supplement was introduced in 2005 and has since facilitated the encoding of digital text for the Mongolian language, enabling accurate and efficient communication across various platforms and devices. In summary, U+1849 is a crucial component of the Mongolian alphasyllabary, playing an essential role in preserving and transmitting the cultural and linguistic heritage of the Mongolian people through digital text. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard has allowed for the accurate representation of the Mongolian language across various platforms, further promoting global communication and understanding.
