Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᠶ has the Unicode code point U+1836. 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+1836 to binary:
00011000 00110110
. 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 10100000 10110110

Description
The Unicode character U+1836 is known as the Mongolian Letter YA. In the realm of digital typography, it plays a crucial role in representing the Mongolian script, which is primarily used for writing the Mongolic languages such as Mongolian and Buryat. This character is essential for maintaining the linguistic accuracy and cultural integrity of texts written in these languages. The Mongolian script is an important aspect of the rich cultural heritage of the Mongolic peoples, as it traces its origins back to the 13th century when Genghis Khan's empire expanded across Asia and Europe. The U+1836 character, along with other Mongolian script characters, ensures that this significant historical and cultural narrative can be accurately conveyed in digital text format. Therefore, the use of the Unicode character U+1836 is not only technically important but also contributes to preserving linguistic diversity and cultural heritage in the context of modern communication technologies.
