Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㉯ has the Unicode code point U+326F. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
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 thexare 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+326F to binary:
00110010 01101111. 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 10101111

Description
U+326F, the Circled Hangul Nieun A, is a character in the Unicode standard that represents the Korean consonant 'ㅇ'. In digital text, it is commonly used in the Hangul writing system, which is the official script of the Korean language. This character serves a unique role as an empty syllable blocker, preventing unintended syllable formation when followed by certain Hangul consonants or vowels. It also plays a vital part in the proper phonetic and syntactic representation of words in the Korean language. The Circled Hangul Nieun A is particularly significant due to its contribution to the accurate translation, transcribing, and communication of written content across different platforms and devices. This character upholds the rich cultural and linguistic heritage of Korea while enabling digital text efficiency and readability for both native speakers and non-native learners of the language.
