Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㆍ has the Unicode code point U+318D. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
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 thexare 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+318D to binary:
00110001 10001101. 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 10000110 10001101

Description
The Unicode character U+318D is known as Hangul Letter Araea. It is a vital component of the Korean alphabet, Hangul, which consists of 14 consonants and 10 vowels. In digital text, U+318D serves to represent the sound 'a' when it appears at the end of a syllable block in Hangul. The character is integral to the written Korean language, and its accurate use contributes to effective communication and preservation of linguistic heritage. Although not as widely recognized as other Hangul letters or alphabets like Latin or Greek, U+318D holds a significant place within the Korean writing system and reflects the rich cultural history of Korea in its usage. The precise representation of this character is crucial for accurate translation and comprehension of digital texts in Korean language contexts.
