Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㉺ has the Unicode code point U+327A. 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+327A to binary:
00110010 01111010
. 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 10111010

Description
The character U+327A, also known as CIRCLED HANGUL PHIEUPH A, is a crucial component of the Korean language's typography system. In digital text, it primarily serves the function of representing a specific sound in spoken Korean, phonetically corresponding to the consonant 'p'. U+327A is part of the larger Unicode block for Hangul Jamo, which contains 44 individual characters that can be combined to form meaningful words and phrases. CIRCLED HANGUL PHIEUPH A, along with other jamo characters such as U+11039 (DANSUNG), U+3275 (CHIEUCH PIEUP), and U+A968 (HANGUL SYLLABLE AE), are integral to the structure of the Korean writing system, enabling accurate communication of linguistic nuances. This character's usage in digital text is deeply rooted in the cultural and linguistic context of Korea, reflecting a rich history of written expression that has evolved over centuries.
