Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㅄ has the Unicode code point U+3144. 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+3144 to binary:
00110001 01000100. 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 10000100

Description
The Unicode character U+3144 is known as 'HANGUL LETTER PIEUP-SIOS' in the typographical domain. This specific character plays a crucial role in digital text, particularly in Korean language systems. In the Hangul script, each consonant and vowel has its unique code point, and U+3144 is the designated code for the combination of 'Pieup' and 'Sios'. Pieup (ㅛ) represents a consonant sound, which in Korean is pronounced as an unaspirated voiceless alveolar plosive, similar to the English "p". On the other hand, Sios (ㄴ) stands for a vowel sound that denotes a low central vowel. Thus, U+3144's primary function is in creating specific syllables within the Korean language. In terms of cultural, linguistic, or technical context, it's noteworthy that Hangul, the Korean alphabet, was developed during the 15th century by King Sejong the Great and his scholars as a phonetic writing system to make literacy more accessible. The unique encoding system for each consonant and vowel, including U+3144, allows for a high degree of flexibility and creativity in the language's written form. Today, this character continues to be essential in digital text processing systems for Korean language applications worldwide. To summarize, U+3144 is a critical component within the Hangul script in digital text, particularly in the creation of specific syllables in the Korean language. Its usage reflects a rich cultural and linguistic history, with roots in King Sejong's 15th-century development of a phonetic writing system that has since become a global standard for processing Korean text digitally.
