Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㅆ has the Unicode code point U+3146. 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+3146 to binary:
00110001 01000110. 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 10000110

Description
The character U+3146 (HANGUL LETTER SSANGSIOS) is a crucial component of the Korean alphabet, Hangul. In digital text, it serves as one of the 14 consonant letters in this phonetic script. Originating from the late 15th century during the Joseon Dynasty in Korea, Hangul was designed to replace the Classical Chinese characters that were previously used for writing the Korean language, making literacy more accessible. U+3146 specifically represents the consonant "ss", and its correct pronunciation is similar to the English "sh" sound. This letter plays a vital role in accurately conveying meaning in written Korean, as it contributes to the formation of syllables alongside vowel letters from Hangul's repertoire. The character U+3146 not only holds linguistic importance but also reflects Korea's rich cultural heritage and the innovative efforts made to create a distinct writing system that is both phonetic and visually appealing.
