Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᠿ has the Unicode code point U+183F. 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+183F to binary:
00011000 00111111. 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 10111111

Description
The Unicode character U+183F represents the Mongolian letter Zra (ᠿ), which is one of the 27 consonantal letters in the Mongolian script. This script, known as Vertical Mongolian script or Classical Mongolian script, was used for writing the Old Mongolian language from the 13th to the 20th century and has been adopted by several modern Mongolic languages such as Kalmyk, Buryat, and Oirat. In digital text, U+183F serves a crucial role in accurately transcribing these languages and preserving their cultural heritage. The Mongolian script is significant in linguistic and historical contexts, as it was introduced by the Buddhist monk Dharmashila during the time of Genghis Khan and played an essential part in shaping the cultural identity of various Mongolic nations. Today, U+183F continues to be relevant for scholars and researchers studying these languages and their literature, ensuring the accurate representation and preservation of this rich linguistic history.
