Description

The Unicode character U+327C, known as the Circled Korean Character Chamko (철자), is a unique glyph in the digital text realm that holds both linguistic and cultural significance. It serves as an indicator of the shape and pronunciation of a syllable block in the Korean Hangul writing system, where it represents the consonant '치' (ch) followed by the vowel '아' (a), creating a syllable block with a sound equivalent to "cha" in English. The character is commonly used in digital texts to represent specific sounds in the Korean language and plays an essential role in maintaining linguistic accuracy and coherence. U+327C is particularly important in preserving the rich cultural heritage of the Korean language, as it is a crucial element in Hangul's phonetic system that allows for the precise transcription and pronunciation of words in Korean text.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12924 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+327C. 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+327C to binary: 00110010 01111100. 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 10111100
