Description

The Unicode character U+320B, known as the "PARENTHESIZED HANGUL THIEUTH," is a specialized typographic symbol used in digital text to represent a specific letter within the Korean alphabet, Hangul. This character, when used appropriately, can help maintain accurate transcriptions of words and phrases in the Korean language. In its parenthesized form, it allows for easier differentiation between similar characters or variations in pronunciation, enhancing the legibility and comprehension of text for those fluent in Korean. Although this particular character might not be widely known outside of specific linguistic or cultural contexts, it plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and clarity of digital communication in Korean.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12811 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+320B. 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+320B to binary: 00110010 00001011. 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 10001011
