Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㅰ has the Unicode code point U+3170. 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+3170 to binary:
00110001 01110000
. 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 10110000

Description
The Unicode character U+3170, HANGUL LETTER MIEUM-PANSIOS, plays a crucial role in the digital representation of the Korean language. This specific Hangul letter represents the consonant "m" followed by the semivowel "i." In Hangul, each syllable is made up of one or more consonants and an associated vowel. The MIEUM-PANSIOS character is part of the extended Hangul set, introduced in Unicode 6.0, to provide additional variants for representing certain sounds in the Korean language. These extended characters are primarily used in formal writing, such as legal documents and literature, where a more precise phonetic representation is required. In this context, U+3170 contributes to the accurate and effective communication of ideas and information in the Korean language, a significant element in preserving cultural heritage and facilitating global understanding.
