Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㆈ has the Unicode code point U+3188. 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+3188 to binary:
00110001 10001000. 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 10001000

Description
The Unicode character U+3188 represents the Hangul letter 'yo-yeog'. In the context of digital text, this character is used in the Korean script system known as Hangul to represent a specific consonant sound, similar to how individual letters function in Latin-based alphabets. The Korean language is composed entirely of these letters, which are combined in various ways to produce syllables. U+3188 falls into the category of consonants and has its own unique phonetic value. In Hangul, each letter carries both a consonant and vowel sound, making it an essential part of the Korean language's structure. U+3188 is one of many characters within the Unicode Standard, which aims to provide a unique code for every character in all known writing systems. This standardization enables digital communication and information sharing across different languages and platforms. U+3188's role in Hangul underlines the importance of accurate character encoding and representation. Misinterpretations or misrepresentations can lead to confusion and miscommunication, highlighting the need for precise typography in digital environments. Therefore, U+3188 is not just a mere character; it is an essential element that contributes to the rich linguistic heritage of the Korean language.
