Description

U+317D HANGUL LETTER SIOS-PIEUP is a specific character within the Unicode Standard, playing an essential role in digital text. It forms part of the Korean alphabet, known as Hangul, which was developed during the 15th century under the patronage of the Joseon Dynasty's King Sejong the Great. The Hangul script is based on phonetic principles and consists of 14 distinct consonants and 10 vowels. U+317D represents the consonant Sioseol (시옹), also transliterated as "sh" or "s," depending on its combination with vowel letters, and Pieup (희), which corresponds to the English "h." This character is crucial in enabling accurate transcription of Korean language text in digital platforms, facilitating communication and information exchange globally. In terms of technical context, U+317D HANGUL LETTER SIOS-PIEUP falls under the Unicode Block for Hangul Compatibility Jamo, a subset of characters primarily used to construct Hangul syllables or Jamo, which are then combined into Hangul letters.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12669 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout

    The character has the Unicode code point U+317D. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0800 to 0xffff.

    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 the x are the payload bits.

    UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range
    Codepoint RangeBytesBit patternPayload length
    U+0000 - U+007F10xxxxxxx7 bits
    U+0080 - U+07FF2110xxxxx 10xxxxxx11 bits
    U+0800 - U+FFFF31110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx16 bits
    U+10000 - U+10FFFF411110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx21 bits
  2. Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:

    Convert the hexadecimal code point U+317D to binary: 00110001 01111101. Those are the payload bits.

  3. 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 10111101
