Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᠈ has the Unicode code point U+1808. 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+1808 to binary:
00011000 00001000. 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 10001000

Description
The Unicode character U+1808, known as the Mongolian Manchu Comma, plays a significant role in digital texts by serving as a punctuation mark in the Manchu script. This typographical element is essential for maintaining the integrity of written communication in the Manchu language, which has historical and cultural significance as it was used by the Aisin Gioro (Manchu royal family) and the Qing Dynasty in China. In digital text, the Mongolian Manchu Comma is indispensable for maintaining accurate syntax and readability, ensuring that text in the Manchu script flows seamlessly, just as it does in other languages with established punctuation marks. Its presence in the Unicode Standard demonstrates a commitment to preserving linguistic diversity and cultural heritage through digital typography.
