Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㅒ has the Unicode code point U+3152. 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+3152 to binary:
00110001 01010010
. 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 10010010

Description
The Hangul Letter Yae (U+3152) is a key component of the Korean language's writing system, Hangul. In digital text, it serves as an essential constituent for forming words in the Korean language. As part of the Hangul script, which was developed during the 15th century by King Sejong the Great, U+3152 contributes to the unique phonetic and phonological structure of the language. The character represents a specific consonant-vowel (CV) syllable block in Korean orthography, enabling accurate representation of spoken Korean in written form. Hangul's efficient and systematic design makes it an ideal writing system for both native speakers and learners, as evidenced by its widespread use and popularity in South Korea and North Korea. The Hangul Letter Yae is crucial to preserving the linguistic identity of the Korean people and maintaining cultural heritage through written expression.
