Description

U+316F Hangul Letter Mieum-Siros is a crucial element of the Korean language's written form. As a key component of the Hangul script, it plays an essential role in digital text representation for Korean language content. This character specifically denotes the "m" sound when used in words and phrases. In terms of cultural and linguistic context, Hangul is unique as it was created during the 15th century under the reign of King Sejong the Great. It replaced a previously used script called Classical Hanja that was adopted from Chinese characters. The creation of Hangul revolutionized communication in Korea by making it more accessible to the common people, as opposed to Classical Hanja which required extensive training and knowledge to read and write. Today, U+316F Hangul Letter Mieum-Siros continues to be a fundamental building block for creating meaningful words and phrases in the Korean language. Its accurate use ensures clear communication and preservation of linguistic traditions.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12655 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+316F. 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+316F to binary: 00110001 01101111. 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 10101111
