Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㆌ has the Unicode code point U+318C. 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+318C to binary:
00110001 10001100. 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 10001100

Description
U+318C Hangul Letter Yu-I is a crucial component of the Korean alphabet known as Hangul. It plays a vital role in digital text by representing the sound "ㅏ" (yu) when used in combination with other Hangul letters to form syllables, which collectively build words and phrases within the Korean language. This character, along with its fellow 19 constituent letters of the Hangul alphabet, enables efficient communication and expression of ideas in the Korean language due to its phonetic structure. As a result, U+318C Hangul Letter Yu-I is an essential building block for typography, digital text encoding, and linguistic understanding within the realm of Korean culture and language.
