Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㉮ has the Unicode code point U+326E. 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+326E to binary:
00110010 01101110
. 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 10101110

Description
The Unicode character U+326E represents the "CIRCLED HANGUL KIYEOK A" (ᄀ), a crucial component in the Korean language's alphabet, Hangul. In digital text, it serves as a phonetic symbol to represent the consonant sound "kiyeok", which is pronounced as [ki] in English. This particular character is part of a larger set called "Jamo," each representing individual speech sounds. U+326E's cultural and linguistic significance lies in its role within Hangul, an alphabet system that has been instrumental in shaping the Korean language and literature since its invention by King Sejong the Great in 1443. As a result, this character contributes to the accurate representation of spoken Korean in digital formats, thus preserving linguistic integrity across various mediums.
