Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㅴ has the Unicode code point U+3174. 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+3174 to binary:
00110001 01110100
. 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 10110100

Description
U+3174, known as Hangul Letter Pieup-Sios-Kiyeok, is a crucial component of the Korean alphabet, Hangul. As part of the Unicode standard, it plays an essential role in digital text representation for the Korean language, enabling accurate transmission and display of text across various platforms and devices. Its typical usage involves combining with other Hangul consonants and vowels to form syllable blocks, which then make up words in the Korean language. The Hangul script is unique as it was designed with phonetic principles, making it highly systematic and learnable. In terms of cultural significance, Hangul has been pivotal in the development and promotion of the Korean language and culture, as it replaced Chinese characters and made reading and writing more accessible to the general population. Today, U+3174 and other Unicode characters continue to facilitate effective communication and preservation of linguistic heritage in the digital age.
