Description

The Unicode character U+3164, Hangul Filler (F), is an essential element in the Korean writing system. It serves as a typographical filler used to adjust spacing between Hangul letters or syllable blocks. In digital text, it helps maintain optimal spacing for readability and aesthetic purposes. As an integral part of the Hangul script, U+3164 allows for precise control over character placement, which is crucial for accurate rendering of Korean text in various electronic devices and software. Its significance lies not only in its technical function but also in its contribution to preserving linguistic accuracy and cultural authenticity in the digital realm.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12644 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+3164. 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+3164 to binary: 00110001 01100100. 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 10000101 10100100
