As an essential element of the phonetic writing system, Yeo is combined with other Hangul letters to represent distinct sounds and contribute to the creation of meaningful words and phrases. The Hangul script, which was developed during the 15th century by King Sejong the Great, has significantly influenced Korean culture and language, making it an important aspect of linguistic and cultural heritage. The precise design and structure of each Hangul character, including Yeo, adhere to specific rules that ensure legibility and facilitates learning for native speakers as well as learners of the Korean language.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12629 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout

    The character has the Unicode code point U+3155. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0800 to 0xffff.

    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 the x are the payload bits.

    UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range
    Codepoint RangeBytesBit patternPayload length
    U+0000 - U+007F10xxxxxxx7 bits
    U+0080 - U+07FF2110xxxxx 10xxxxxx11 bits
    U+0800 - U+FFFF31110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx16 bits
    U+10000 - U+10FFFF411110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx21 bits
  2. Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:

    Convert the hexadecimal code point U+3155 to binary: 00110001 01010101. Those are the payload bits.

  3. 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 10010101
