Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㅈ has the Unicode code point U+3148. 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+3148 to binary:
00110001 01001000
. 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 10001000
HANGUL LETTER CIEUC·U+3148

Description
U+3148 is the Unicode code point for 'HANGUL LETTER CIEUC', a character used in the Korean alphabet system called Hangul. It serves as an essential component of modern Korean writing, where it helps convey various phonetic and semantic meanings. As part of the digital text, U+3148 contributes to accurate and effective communication in the Korean language. Its usage is primarily within the context of Hangul, though it may also appear in technical or linguistic discussions related to the Korean script. It's worth noting that the character is not just a symbol but a part of a complex writing system that combines these individual letters into syllable blocks called jamo, creating a phonetic and logical structure for the Korean language. Overall, U+3148 plays an essential role in both digital text representation and linguistic communication within the Korean-speaking world.
