Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㄥ has the Unicode code point U+3125. 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+3125 to binary:
00110001 00100101. 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 10100101

Description
The Unicode character U+3125 represents the Bopomofo letter "ENG" (乙), which is used primarily in digital text to represent the Pinyin Romanization of Mandarin Chinese. In this context, it plays a crucial role in transcribing Chinese characters into the Latin script and facilitating their pronunciation for non-native speakers. The Bopomofo writing system itself originated from the phonetic Jyutping system and was developed to assist with the learning and teaching of Mandarin Chinese. U+3125 is an essential character in text processing, linguistic analysis, and language learning tools that rely on Pinyin transcriptions.
