Description

U+3157 is the Unicode code point for Hangul Letter O (대문자 오), which is an essential character in the Korean alphabet known as Hangul. In digital text, it plays a vital role in representing the Korean language and is used to create words when combined with other Hangul consonants and vowels. Hangul Letter O is part of the larger set of Hangul Jamo, which comprises 144 basic characters or blocks that form syllables in the Korean script. The character holds a significant position culturally and linguistically as it contributes to the distinctiveness of the Korean language and its orthography.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12631 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+3157. 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+3157 to binary: 00110001 01010111. 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 10010111
