Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㅔ has the Unicode code point U+3154. 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+3154 to binary:
00110001 01010100
. 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 10010100

Description
The Hangul Letter ᄀ (U+3154) is a crucial component of the modern Korean alphabet, known as Hangul. It represents a consonant sound and plays an essential role in digital text by enabling accurate representation of the Korean language. Hangul is composed of 14 primary consonants and 10 primary vowels, which can be combined to form a wide range of syllables, allowing for the expression of various meanings and nuances. The character ᄀ specifically represents the initial sound in words like "에" (which means "where" or "located at") and "예" (meaning "yes" or "agree"). Hangul's systematic and logical structure has made it highly efficient and adaptable, contributing to the Korean language's evolution and standardization over time. U+3154, along with other Hangul characters, is essential for digital communication and preservation of the Korean linguistic identity across various platforms and devices.
