Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㉨ has the Unicode code point U+3268. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+3268 to binary:
00110010 01101000
. 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 10001001 10101000

Description
U+3268 is the Unicode code point for the character "CIRCLED HANGUL CIEUC" (ᄌ). This typographical symbol is a part of the Korean Hangul script, which is the official writing system of the Korean language. The character represents the consonant sound 'cieu', which is one of the 14 consonants in Hangul, and when combined with one of the 10 vowel symbols, it forms a syllable block that constitutes a fundamental unit of the Hangul writing system. U+3268's typical usage in digital text is found in texts written in Korean, where it helps convey meaning and maintain the linguistic integrity of the language. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures compatibility across various digital platforms and supports internationalization efforts for the Korean language.
