Description

The Unicode character U+302E, known as the HANGUL SINGLE DOT TONE MARK, is a crucial typographical element in the Korean language. It plays a pivotal role in digital text, specifically in the representation of vowel sounds and tone in written Korean. This character is often used in conjunction with other Hangul characters to create syllable blocks that form words and sentences. In this context, U+302E serves as a diacritical mark, denoting tone or a change in the pronunciation of the preceding base character. Its use is predominantly confined to the Korean language and its associated digital texts, reflecting its significant cultural, linguistic, and technical importance within this unique typographic system.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12334 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout

    The character has the Unicode code point U+302E. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0800 to 0xffff.

    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 the x are the payload bits.

    UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range
    Codepoint RangeBytesBit patternPayload length
    U+0000 - U+007F10xxxxxxx7 bits
    U+0080 - U+07FF2110xxxxx 10xxxxxx11 bits
    U+0800 - U+FFFF31110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx16 bits
    U+10000 - U+10FFFF411110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx21 bits
  2. Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:

    Convert the hexadecimal code point U+302E to binary: 00110000 00101110. Those are the payload bits.

  3. 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 10000000 10101110
