Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㅳ has the Unicode code point U+3173. 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+3173 to binary:
00110001 01110011. 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 10110011

Description
The Unicode character U+3173, known as Hangul Letter Pieup-Tikeut, plays a crucial role in the Korean language system, which relies heavily on the use of Hangul script for written communication. This specific character is one of the 24 consonants that form the basis of the Hangul alphabet, and it's used to denote the initial consonant sound /p/ or /t/ when paired with a vowel in Korean text. The Pieup-Tikeut combination is particularly important as it represents both a consonant and the initial sound in a syllable block, allowing for the precise representation of various words and phrases within the Korean language. Due to its technical importance in the Hangul script system and the overall Korean digital text landscape, U+3173 is essential for accurate translation and communication in Korean-related fields.
