Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㈅ has the Unicode code point U+3205. 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+3205 to binary:
00110010 00000101
. 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 10000101

Description
U+3205 is a Unicode character representing the Parenthesized Hangul Pieup (ꭰ). In digital text, it serves as a constituent of the Hangul writing system, which is used in the Korean language. As a phonetic script, Hangul represents speech sounds and has been designed to be easily learned and written by beginners. The Parenthesized Hangul Pieup character is used specifically for typographic purposes to display Pieup (ㅓ) with its syllable-final consonant in parenthesis, as a way to indicate pronunciation or to provide phonetic guidance for non-native speakers learning the language. This character contributes to the clarity and readability of Korean text, allowing users to better understand and communicate in this widely spoken language.
