Description

The character U+3275, also known as CIRCLED HANGUL IEUNG A, is an essential component of the Korean language's digital text representation. It belongs to the Unicode Standard, which facilitates the seamless exchange and display of text across various platforms and devices. As part of the Hangul script, U+3275 contributes to the accurate representation of the Korean language in digital formats. Hangul, the native script of Korea, is a phonetic alphabet that comprises 14 consonants and 10 vowels. The Circled Hangul series, including U+3275, was specifically developed to represent Hangul characters in a format compatible with the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). This enables linguists, transcribers, and language learners to efficiently convey the pronunciation and phonetics of Korean speech. CIRCLED HANGUL IEUNG A is used to represent the Korean vowel sound "ə," which is known as the schwa or neutral vowel. This sound is crucial in Korean, as it can appear in various positions within words and serves as a central component of syllable construction. The use of U+3275, alongside other Circled Hangul characters, facilitates accurate IPA-based transcriptions of Korean text, thus preserving the language's unique phonetic characteristics. In summary, the character U+3275, or CIRCLED HANGUL IEUNG A, plays a vital role in digital text representation for the Korean language. By providing an accurate IPA-based transcription of the schwa sound, it contributes to the clear communication and understanding of Korean speech across various platforms and devices.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12917 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+3275. 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+3275 to binary: 00110010 01110101. 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 10001001 10110101
