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
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+3201 to binary:
00110010 00000001
. 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 10000001

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.
