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.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12618 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+314A. 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+314A to binary: 00110001 01001010. 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 10001010
