Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㄽ has the Unicode code point U+313D. 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+313D to binary:
00110001 00111101
. 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 10000100 10111101

Description
The Unicode character U+313D, HANGUL LETTER RIEUL-SIOS (가각), is a crucial component in the Korean alphabet system known as Hangul. In digital text, it serves as one of the 24 consonants that form the basis for constructing syllables in the Korean language. The rieul-sios, along with other Hangul letters, allows for efficient and phonetic representation of the Korean language. It is notable for its cultural significance in Korea, where Hangul has been used since the 15th century. As a technical character, U+313D plays an integral role in maintaining consistency and accuracy when encoding Korean text in digital systems. This ensures proper text rendering and communication across various platforms, including computers, smartphones, and websites.
