Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᠽ has the Unicode code point U+183D. 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+183D to binary:
00011000 00111101. 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 10111101

Description
The Mongolian script is a unique writing system that uses the Unicode character U+183D (MONGOLIAN LETTER ZA) as one of its constituent characters. In digital text, this character serves a crucial role in representing the phonetic and grammatical aspects of the Mongolian language, enabling accurate communication and preservation of linguistic traditions. The Mongolian script is the official writing system for several Mongolic languages spoken by millions of people across Central Asia, particularly in Mongolia and parts of China. The character U+183D (MONGOLIAN LETTER ZA) belongs to a group of 25 distinct letters that form the core of the Mongolian script. Introduced during the 1940s, this script has been used in various forms since the 13th century, with significant adaptations occurring over time. The MONGOLIAN LETTER ZA specifically represents a voiceless alveolar affricate consonant sound (/tʃ/) in Mongolian phonology. The inclusion of U+183D (MONGOLIAN LETTER ZA) and other related characters in the Unicode Standard ensures that digital texts written in the Mongolian script can be accurately displayed, edited, and transmitted across different platforms, devices, and software applications. This facilitates the preservation of linguistic heritage, cultural identity, and knowledge within the Mongolic-speaking communities while promoting global communication and understanding.
