Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㅊ has the Unicode code point U+314A. 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+314A to binary:
00110001 01001010
. 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 10000101 10001010

Description
The Unicode character U+314A, known as Hangul Letter Chieuch (ㄲ), is an essential component of the Korean alphabet system, Hangul. In digital text, it serves a crucial role by representing one of the 14 consonant letters in the Hangul script. This character belongs to the group of Jongseong, which comprises middle or secondary consonants in Hangul. U+314A is specifically classified as a 'pure' Jongseong, meaning it does not have an accompanying jung-eon (vowel) marking. The Chieuch character is derived from the Chinese character 乚, which represents the sound "ch" in Pinyin. In its usage within the Korean language, U+314A contributes to the phonetic structure of words and plays a vital part in Korean orthography. Its accurate application ensures proper pronunciation and readability for speakers of the Korean language.
