Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㅥ has the Unicode code point U+3165. 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+3165 to binary:
00110001 01100101
. 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 10100101

Description
The Unicode character U+3165, Hangul Letter Ssangnieun, is a core component of the Korean alphabet system known as Hangul. In its typical usage in digital text, it serves as one of 14 consonants in the Hangul script, representing a specific sound or phoneme when combined with other Hangul letters to form syllables. The character's unique design distinguishes it from other Hangul consonants and contributes to the system's rich visual aesthetics. Hangul Letter Ssangnieun plays an essential role in the Korean language, as it is one of the key components that make up the Korean writing system. Developed during the 15th century under the reign of King Sejong the Great, Hangul was designed to democratize literacy by making written Korean more accessible to the common people, breaking away from the previous reliance on Classical Chinese characters. Today, Hangul is not only used in South Korea but also in North Korea and among Korean communities worldwide. Technically, Hangul Letter Ssangnieun belongs to the Unicode Standard, a system that assigns unique code points to each character, symbol, or glyph for accurate digital representation across different platforms and devices. This standardization ensures consistent and seamless communication in various applications, from web browsers to word processors and mobile devices. In summary, Hangul Letter Ssangnieun (U+3165) is an integral part of the Korean alphabet system, Hangul, contributing to its rich phonetic structure and visual appeal while playing a pivotal role in the Korean language's evolution and accessibility. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard allows for accurate digital representation and communication across various platforms and devices worldwide.
