Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㆁ has the Unicode code point U+3181. 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+3181 to binary:
00110001 10000001
. 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 10000110 10000001

Description
The Hangul Letter Yesieung (U+3181) is a vital character in the Korean alphabet system, known as Hangul. It plays a significant role in digital text, particularly within the Korean language, as it represents the consonant sound "ye" or "y" in Korean phonetics. As one of the 14 basic components that make up Hangul, Yesieung contributes to constructing syllable blocks, which are fundamental to forming words and sentences in Korean. This character is essential for accurate representation of the Korean language in digital text, enabling clear communication and preservation of linguistic nuance. In terms of cultural and linguistic context, the Hangul script itself, including Yesieung, is a crucial aspect of Korea's rich literary heritage and plays an indispensable role in modern Korean communication.
