Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㅿ has the Unicode code point U+317F. 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+317F to binary:
00110001 01111111. 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 10111111

Description
The Unicode character U+317F, known as HANGUL LETTER PANSIOS, is a unique and specialized character in the Korean language. It holds an important role in digital text by representing a distinct consonant sound in the Korean alphabet system, Hangul. Unlike English alphabets, Hangul letters do not simply represent phonetic values, but also convey specific semantic meanings. In this context, Pansios (황) is a rare character used to denote the 'h' sound in certain syllables. Although its usage may be limited, it plays a significant part in preserving and expressing the Korean language's rich phonetic diversity digitally. However, it's important to note that this specific Hangul letter has no direct cultural or linguistic significance due to its rarity, unlike other characters like 한 or 가 which are commonly used in everyday Korean text. Nevertheless, U+317F remains a vital part of the Unicode standard, ensuring complete representation and accessibility for the Korean language across digital platforms.
