Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᠊ has the Unicode code point U+180A. 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+180A to binary:
00011000 00001010
. 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 10001010

Description
The Unicode character U+180A, known as Mongolian Nairugu (ᠠ), is a crucial component of the Mongolian script, which is primarily used for writing the Mongolian language. In digital text, it serves as a consonant, representing the sound "n" in the Mongolian alphabet. The Mongolian script is part of the larger group of Uyghur-Mongolic scripts and was developed around the 13th century, influenced by the Tibetan and Old Uyghur scripts. The character is essential to accurately transcribe and represent the rich cultural, historical, and linguistic heritage of Mongolia and its people. In modern times, this character is widely used in digital applications such as text editing, word processing, and website content for Mongolian language communication, ensuring the preservation and accessibility of this unique script system.
