Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㈝ has the Unicode code point U+321D. 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+321D to binary:
00110010 00011101
. 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 10011101

Description
U+321D is a parenthesized Korean character called Ojeong, which plays an important role in the Korean language. It combines the concepts of "parentheses" and "Korean script" to create a typographic symbol unique to the Korean writing system. In digital text, this character serves as a visual separator or punctuation mark, often used to set off clauses, parenthetical statements, or explanatory notes within a sentence. Its parenthetical nature lends itself to creating a clear and organized structure in written communication, which is essential for understanding complex ideas or arguments in the Korean language. The use of Ojeong is primarily found in the Korean alphabet system known as Hangul, where it helps maintain fluency and legibility in texts.
