Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㈉ has the Unicode code point U+3209. 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+3209 to binary:
00110010 00001001
. 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 10001000 10001001

Description
U+3209, also known as the Parenthesized Hangul Chieuch, is a specific Unicode character that plays an essential role in digital text, particularly within the Korean language. In the Hangul writing system, it serves as a crucial component for constructing consonant-vowel syllables. This character finds its usage primarily in creating the Chieuch sound, which corresponds to the English 'ch' or 'k' sound. As such, it contributes significantly to the phonetic accuracy and expressiveness of Korean text. The Parenthesized Hangul Chieuch is not merely a visual representation but also carries semantic importance, as its correct usage can affect the meaning of a word or phrase. It is placed within a parenthesis (U+207B) to indicate that it's an isolated consonant and not followed by a vowel. This use of parentheses helps to maintain the integrity of Korean text when displayed on digital platforms, preventing misinterpretations or errors in translation. Despite its specialized nature, the Parenthesized Hangul Chieuch holds significant cultural and linguistic value in the Korean language. As part of the Unicode Standard, it ensures that the rich heritage and nuance of the Korean language can be preserved and shared across various digital platforms worldwide. This character's inclusion in the Unicode Standard is a testament to the continuous efforts made towards universal text accessibility and the recognition of diverse scripts and languages.
