Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+1CFD. 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+1CFD to binary:
00011100 11111101. 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 10110011 10111101

Description
The Unicode character U+1CFD is a typographical glyph known as the "Mongolian Vowel Sign Back High" (CHARACTER 1CFD). This character plays an integral role in digital text, particularly within the context of the Mongolian script, which is used for writing the Mongolic languages spoken by the Mongols and other related ethnic groups. The Mongolian script is based on the ancient Uighur script and was modified to represent the unique phonetic and morphological features of the Mongolic languages. In digital text, U+1CFD is utilized to represent a specific vowel sound in these languages and serves as an essential component for accurate transcription and translation. Overall, this character contributes significantly to the preservation and promotion of linguistic diversity and cultural heritage.
