Description

The Unicode character U+3201, also known as the Parenthesized Hangul Nieun, is a crucial element in the representation of the Korean language in digital text. This unique typographical symbol plays an integral role in accurately conveying the nuances and intricacies inherent in the Hangul script, which forms the basis of written Korean. U+3201 is particularly significant because it denotes the Nieun sound, one of the 14 consonant letters in the Hangul alphabet. By combining with other Hangul syllable blocks, this character allows for the precise rendering of complex phonetic and semantic relationships within Korean texts. This character's specific use in digital text is vital for maintaining the integrity of the language, particularly for those who use it professionally or for study purposes. U+3201's importance lies not only in its role as a typographical element but also in the cultural and linguistic context it provides, reinforcing the rich heritage and significance of Hangul in Korean literature, communication, and education.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12801 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+3201. 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+3201 to binary: 00110010 00000001. 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 10000001
