Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㅟ has the Unicode code point U+315F. 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+315F to binary:
00110001 01011111
. 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 10011111

Description
The Unicode character U+315F represents the Hangul letter 'WI' (위). In the digital text world, it is used to encode this specific Korean script in various software applications and systems that support Unicode encoding. As part of the Hangul writing system, which was developed during the 15th century under the reign of King Sejong the Great of Joseon Dynasty, 'WI' plays a significant role in the Korean language. The character is part of the Joongsil group of letters, which are used to form syllables and convey meaning. As a result, U+315F contributes to the accurate representation and transmission of the Korean language in digital text, facilitating communication and information exchange across borders.
