Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㄍ has the Unicode code point U+310D. 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+310D to binary:
00110001 00001101. 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 10001101

Description
The Unicode character U+310D represents the Bopomofo letter "G" (BOPOMOFO LETTER G). In digital text, this character is primarily used for the representation of the Mandarin Chinese pronunciation of "g". It belongs to the Bopomofo script, a phonetic writing system developed in early 20th century China, which uses a modified set of Latin alphabet characters along with unique symbols to denote specific tones and sounds. The Bopomofo system plays a crucial role in teaching Mandarin Chinese as a foreign language due to its simplicity and phonetic nature. U+310D, the Bopomofo letter "G", corresponds to the consonant sound /ŋ/ or /ɡ/, depending on its context within a word. It is significant not only for typography and linguistic research but also for computer programming and software development, where accurate text representation is vital for maintaining the integrity of information across different platforms and languages.
