Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㈜ has the Unicode code point U+321C. 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+321C to binary:
00110010 00011100
. 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 10011100

Description
The Unicode character U+321C, also known as PARENTHESIZED HANGUL CIEUC U, plays a crucial role in digital text by representing the Korean consonant 'cieuc' (ㅈ) within a parenthesized form. In Hangul, cieuc is an essential consonant that helps build syllables and words in the Korean language. It is commonly used in linguistic, cultural, and technical contexts where accurate representation of Korean text is necessary. This character enhances the fidelity of digital text by preserving the unique characteristics and structure of Hangul, the Korean alphabet. The PARENTHESIZED HANGUL CIEUC U ensures that any content in digital media, such as websites, documents, or software applications, can accurately represent Korean language material without distortion or loss of meaning.
