Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㄎ has the Unicode code point U+310E. 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+310E to binary:
00110001 00001110. 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 10001110

Description
U+310E, the Bopomofo letter "K", is a crucial character in the Bopomofo script, which serves as an auxiliary writing system for transcribing Chinese phonology and is primarily used in Taiwan. It plays a vital role in digital text by representing the consonant sound /k/ or /ɡ/. The Bopomofo script originated during the early 20th century and has since been widely adopted, particularly in linguistics, phonetics, and language learning resources for Chinese languages. While it may not be as prevalent in everyday digital text usage, its significance in these specialized fields underscores its importance in facilitating accurate pronunciation and comprehension of Chinese languages.
