Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㈙ has the Unicode code point U+3219. 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+3219 to binary:
00110010 00011001
. 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 10011001

Description
U+3219 (Parenthesized Hangul Thieuth A) is a unique Unicode character with specific roles in digital text. It is part of the Hangul script, which is primarily used for writing the Korean language. The Parenthesized Hangul Thieuth A character represents the "ㅋ" sound, one of the 14 consonant letters in Hangul. This particular character is notable as it has a distinctive visual feature: a parenthesis-like shape around its base form. In digital text, U+3219 serves to accurately represent the "ㅋ" sound in Hangul syllables. The parenthesized shape does not alter the phonetic value of the character but adds a visual element that can aid in reading and understanding when used within the context of Hangul words or phrases. Although U+3219 is less common than its base form, it has significance for those working with the Korean language, typography enthusiasts, and Unicode experts. The Parenthesized Hangul Thieuth A character is essential in maintaining linguistic accuracy when encoding and displaying text in digital environments. It contributes to the richness of the Korean language, enabling users to communicate effectively across various online platforms and applications.
