Description

U+3215 is the Unicode character code for the Parenthesized Hangul IEUNG A, a typographic symbol used in digital text. It serves an important role in the Korean language by helping to represent specific sounds and phonemes in written Korean text. The Parenthesized Hangul IEUNG A character is part of the larger Hangul system, which consists of 1442 characters used for writing the Korean language. U+3215 specifically represents an open-parenthesis followed by the base consonant IEUNG (ㅣ) and a closing parenthesis, making it visually distinct in text. While not widely known outside Korea, the Parenthesized Hangul IEUNG A plays a crucial role in maintaining linguistic accuracy and clarity in written Korean, particularly in digital text where fonts and encoding may vary.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12821 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+3215. 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+3215 to binary: 00110010 00010101. 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 10001000 10010101
