Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㉫ has the Unicode code point U+326B. 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+326B to binary:
00110010 01101011
. 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 10101011

Description
U+326B, the Circled Hangul Thieuth character, plays a crucial role in digital text, specifically within the Korean language. It represents the consonant "스" (sut) and is part of the Hangul script, which consists of 14 basic consonants and 10 basic vowels. The Hangul script is widely used in South Korea and North Korea for writing both Korean languages, and it's known for its phonetic consistency and simplicity. U+326B contributes to this simplicity by representing a distinct sound in the language and adhering to the principles of Hangul's systematic structure. The character's circular design helps differentiate it from other similar Hangul characters, ensuring clear communication and reducing potential for confusion.
