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.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12922 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+327A. 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+327A to binary: 00110010 01111010. 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 10111010
