Description

U+3273, also known as the Circled Hangul Pieup A, is a unique character within the Unicode standard. It is primarily used in digital text for representing the Korean letter 'ㅛ' (pieup) within a circled format. This special representation often serves to differentiate it from the regular pieup character or to emphasize its presence within a given text. As part of the Hangul writing system, U+3273 plays a crucial role in enabling accurate and efficient communication in the Korean language. The Circled Hangul Pieup A is not just limited to linguistic contexts but also has applications in areas such as cryptography, computer programming, and software development due to its distinct appearance and Unicode value.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12915 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+3273. 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+3273 to binary: 00110010 01110011. 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 10110011
