Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᡖ has the Unicode code point U+1856. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
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 thexare 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+1856 to binary:
00011000 01010110. 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 10010110

Description
The character U+1856, known as Mongolian Letter Todo Wa (ᠦ), is a crucial component of the Mongolian script, which is part of the larger group of Uyghur-Mongolian scripts. In digital text, it serves as a phonetic symbol representing the /w/ sound in the Mongolian language. The Mongolian script is primarily used for writing the Modern Mongolian language, an Altaic language spoken predominantly in Mongolia and by Mongolic ethnic groups in neighboring countries. This script has a rich history that dates back to the 13th century when it was adapted from the Uyghur script, which itself originated from the Arabic script. The Mongolian script employs a unique combination of logographic and phonetic features, making it an essential tool for the preservation and transmission of Mongolian culture and literature.
