Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㈏ has the Unicode code point U+320F. 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+320F to binary:
00110010 00001111
. 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 10001111

Description
The Unicode character U+320F, also known as "PARENTHESIZED HANGUL NIEUN A," serves a specific purpose in digital text by representing a Hangul consonant, Nieun (ㅊ), with parentheses around it. This allows for accurate and distinct representation of the Korean language's unique characters, which are based on the Hangul script. The U+320F character is particularly important for linguistic accuracy when transcribing or translating Korean text into digital formats, ensuring that the original meaning and context are preserved. As part of the Unicode Standard, this character contributes to a comprehensive system that supports a wide range of languages, making it possible to accurately represent various scripts and characters from around the world.
