Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㅬ has the Unicode code point U+316C. 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+316C to binary:
00110001 01101100. 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 10101100

Description
U+316C Hangul Letter Rieul-Pansios is a unique character in the Korean alphabet system, commonly known as Hangul. It holds an essential role in digital text, particularly within the Korean language, which utilizes this script for its written form. The character is specifically used to represent the consonant sound /r/, making it vital for accurate transcription and communication of the Korean language. In the context of Hangul, U+316C Rieul-Pansios is part of a larger set of 40 phonetic blocks that make up the entire Korean alphabet. Each block represents a specific sound or syllable, enabling users to create words and phrases with ease. This linguistic system has been widely adopted not only in South Korea but also in North Korea due to its phonetic consistency and effectiveness in representing the Korean language's unique sounds. From a cultural perspective, Hangul is deeply rooted in Korean history, as it was developed during the 15th century by King Sejong the Great. The creation of this writing system marked a significant shift from Classical Chinese characters, which were previously used and understood only by an elite few. Hangul's accessibility allowed for greater literacy among the general population, promoting education and cultural development in Korea. In terms of technical context, U+316C Rieul-Pansios is encoded as part of the Unicode Standard. The Unicode Consortium, a nonprofit organization responsible for creating and maintaining the standard, ensures that this character, along with over 100,000 other characters, can be accurately represented across various digital platforms and devices. This universality has facilitated effective communication and information sharing in the Korean language and beyond, as the Unicode Standard continues to evolve and support an ever-growing range of scripts and symbols from around the world.
