Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㄟ has the Unicode code point U+311F. 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+311F to binary:
00110001 00011111. 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:
11100011 10000100 10011111

Description
U+311F, also known as the Bopomofo Letter EI, is a character used primarily in the Bopomofo system of the Chinese language. This writing system is utilized for the phonetic transcription of Mandarin Chinese, which is one of the most widely spoken languages globally. The Bopomofo Letter Ei specifically represents the syllable /ei/, with 'bopomofo' being an abbreviation of 'beijing pinyin mù-phoneme fǎzhuāng,' meaning 'Beijing Pinyin Mù-phoneme Notation System.' This system provides a phonetic representation for Chinese characters, helping bridge the gap between spoken and written language. The Bopomofo Letter Ei is essential in linguistic studies, particularly those focusing on Mandarin Chinese, as well as in educational settings where the understanding of Mandarin pronunciation is crucial. As part of the Unicode character set, U+311F ensures a consistent and standardized approach to digital text representation across various platforms and languages.
