Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㅑ has the Unicode code point U+3151. 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+3151 to binary:
00110001 01010001
. 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 10010001

Description
The Unicode character U+3151 represents the Hangul letter 'Ya' (양자). In the Korean language, it is a constitutive element of syllable blocks within the Hangul script, which forms an integral part of digital text. As a key component of the Korean writing system, U+3151 plays a vital role in encoding and transcribing the Korean language accurately in digital contexts. The Hangul script is known for its phonetic clarity and simplicity, making it accessible to learners. 'Ya' specifically represents the sound /ja/ or /jwa/, and when combined with other Hangul letters, it helps create a variety of distinct syllables that comprise the Korean language. U+3151 is indispensable in maintaining cultural and linguistic integrity while facilitating seamless digital communication within and beyond the Korean-speaking world.
