Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㅎ has the Unicode code point U+314E. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
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 thexare 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+314E to binary:
00110001 01001110. 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 10001110

Description
U+314E, also known as the Hangul Letter Hieuh (한글 혐), is a crucial component of the Korean alphabet, Hangul. It plays an essential role in digital text by representing the consonant sound 'h', as part of its typical usage within the Korean language. The character is derived from the Middle Korean script and forms the basis of modern Korean typography. In terms of cultural, linguistic, or technical context, Hangul was designed during the 15th century by King Sejong the Great to promote literacy among the common people in Korea. U+314E is one of the 14 consonants and 10 vowels that form all possible syllables in the Korean language, providing a phonetic system for accurate pronunciation and readability. The Hangul script's simplicity and systematic nature have made it an influential model for other writing systems around the world, highlighting U+314E's importance within digital text and typography.
