Description

The Unicode character U+3161 represents the Hangul letter "EU", which is a component of the Korean alphabet system. In digital text, this character plays an essential role in encoding and rendering Korean language content accurately. Hangul, the native script of the Korean language, consists of 14 consonants and 10 vowels, including U+3161 "EU". The Hangul script has significantly impacted the linguistic and cultural aspects of Korea, as it was designed during the late Joseon Dynasty (15th century) by King Sejong the Great to promote literacy among the people. U+3161 "EU" and other Hangul characters are crucial for enabling efficient communication in Korean digital text and preserving linguistic identity online. As technology continues to advance, accurate encoding of such unique scripts remains a vital aspect of maintaining cultural integrity and facilitating global understanding.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12641 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+3161. 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+3161 to binary: 00110001 01100001. 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 10100001
