Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㅨ has the Unicode code point U+3168. 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+3168 to binary:
00110001 01101000
. 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 10101000

Description
U+3168 is a character in Unicode, which represents the Hangul letter Nieun-Pansios. This letter plays an essential role in digital text, specifically within the Korean language system. The Korean writing system, known as Hangul, consists of 14 consonants and 10 vowels. Each Hangul letter has a specific position in the block, and U+3168 is situated in the first supplementary area (U+A960-U+A97F) within the Unicode Extended-A character set. The Hangul script was developed during the 15th century under the direction of King Sejong the Great to make literacy accessible to everyone. As a result, it has become an integral part of Korean culture and language. Nieun-Pansios (니웅) is one of the consonant characters in Hangul, and when combined with other vowels, it forms various syllables essential for communication. In digital text, U+3168 ensures accurate representation and encoding of Korean text across different platforms and devices, enabling effective communication among native and non-native speakers alike.
