Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㉹ has the Unicode code point U+3279. 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+3279 to binary:
00110010 01111001
. 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 10111001

Description
The Unicode character U+3279, known as "CIRCLED HANGUL THIEUTH A," is a crucial element in digital text, particularly within the Korean language. It represents a specific component of the Korean alphabet, which consists of 14 consonants and 10 vowels. The hangul script was developed during the 15th century under the rule of King Sejong the Great as a phonetic alphabet to replace the classical Chinese characters then used for writing Korean. In digital text, U+3279 serves to accurately represent the pronunciation and meaning of words within the Korean language. The character plays a vital role in enabling accurate communication and understanding between speakers of different dialects or regions. By correctly using U+3279, alongside other hangul characters, users can maintain linguistic precision and cultural authenticity in digital communications, which is especially important considering Korea's growing influence on the global stage.
