Description

The Unicode character U+3203, also known as the Parenthesized Hangul Rieul, plays a significant role in digital text, specifically within the Korean language. As part of the Extended Hangul Compatibility Jamo set, this character is used to represent the consonant "ㅡ" or "Rieul", which is one of 14 basic hangul jamo that form syllables in Korean. U+3203 serves as a phonetic component, allowing for more accurate and efficient text input and rendering in digital communication. Its presence within the Unicode Standard demonstrates the ongoing effort to include diverse scripts and languages, fostering global connectivity and exchange of information.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12803 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+3203. 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+3203 to binary: 00110010 00000011. 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 10000011
