Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㈀ has the Unicode code point U+3200. 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+3200 to binary:
00110010 00000000
. 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 10000000

Description
The Unicode character U+3200, known as the "PARENTHESIZED HANGUL KIYEOK," is a typographic symbol used in digital text to represent the Korean consonant letter 'ㄲ', also called Kiyek. It is part of the Hangul writing system, which was developed during the 15th century by King Sejong the Great of Joseon Dynasty for the standardized writing of the Korean language. U+3200 plays a vital role in digital text as it allows accurate representation and input of Hangul characters with an additional layer of parentheses, enhancing readability and clarity. In a cultural context, this character is significant in preserving Korea's linguistic heritage and facilitating the use of the Korean language on digital platforms.
