Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㉭ has the Unicode code point U+326D. 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+326D to binary:
00110010 01101101
. 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 10101101

Description
U+326D, also known as CIRCLED HANGUL HIEUH, is a character from the Unicode Standard, which enables consistent encoding, rendering, and handling of text across different devices and platforms. In digital text, this character primarily serves as a phonetic symbol in the Korean language. Specifically, it represents the sound "h" or "heu," and can be found in its uppercase form in text that employs initial capitalization rules. CIRCLED HANGUL HIEUH is part of the larger Unicode block dedicated to Hangul, which is the Korean writing system based on phonetic principles. The use of circular forms of these characters, as seen with U+326D, contributes to a visual differentiation from their regular counterparts in specific contexts, like when used for emphasis or in typographic designs. Overall, CIRCLED HANGUL HIEUH is an essential component of the Unicode Standard and plays a significant role in accurately representing the Korean language in digital communication.
