Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㉱ has the Unicode code point U+3271. 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+3271 to binary:
00110010 01110001
. 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 10110001

Description
The Unicode character U+3271, known as "CIRCLED HANGUL RIEUL A", is a significant element in the Korean writing system. It serves as an essential component for creating syllables in the Korean language, where it forms the basis of the phonetic alphabet known as Hangul. In digital text, U+3271 is primarily used to represent the initial consonant 'RIEUL' (리) when constructing complex Korean words using a combination of Hangul Jamo characters, which are the fundamental building blocks of the Korean script. The character is part of the Unicode block "Hangul Compatibility" and plays a crucial role in ensuring accurate representation and readability of Korean text on digital platforms worldwide.
