Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㆇ has the Unicode code point U+3187. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
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 thexare 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+3187 to binary:
00110001 10000111. 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 10000111

Description
U+3187 is the Unicode code point for Hangul Letter Yo-Ya (조음 ㅏ), a character in the Korean alphabet known as Hangul. This letter is part of the Joseon Dynasty's Jongseo script, which evolved into the present-day Hangul system used in North and South Korea for written communication. In digital text, Hangul Letter Yo-Ya serves a crucial role by representing a specific sound or phoneme (ya) in the Korean language, contributing to the accurate pronunciation of words. As an integral part of Hangul, U+3187 helps maintain linguistic continuity and cultural heritage in the modern age of digital communication. The precise use of each Hangul character is vital for the accurate representation of meaning in written text, demonstrating the efficiency of the Korean writing system in conveying both sounds and meanings effectively.
