Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᠆ has the Unicode code point U+1806. 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+1806 to binary:
00011000 00000110. 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 10000110

Description
The Unicode character U+1806, known as the Mongolian Todo Soft Hyphen, plays a crucial role in digital text processing, specifically for the Mongolian script. It is primarily used to indicate a soft hyphen or a breaking point within words that may need hyphenation or line breaking. In the context of the Mongolian language, it helps maintain proper word division while ensuring clear readability and coherence. The character's significance stems from its association with the Mongolian Todo script, which is part of the larger Uighur-Mongolian group within the Arabic writing system. As a result, understanding the role of U+1806 in digital text processing contributes to a deeper appreciation of the complexities and nuances of the Mongolian language and its unique script.
