Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᄿ has the Unicode code point U+113F. 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+113F to binary:
00010001 00111111
. 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:
11100001 10000100 10111111

Description
U+113F (Hangul Choseong Ceongchiesumsangsios) is a unique character in the Unicode standard, specifically designed for use in the Korean language. As part of the Hangul script, it plays a crucial role in digital text by serving as one of the 24 initial consonant groups known as Choseongs. Each Choseong character, including U+113F, contributes to forming the backbone of Korean words by acting as an anchor for following Jamos, which are components that further refine pronunciation and meaning. The Hangul script is not only important for written communication in Korea but also holds historical significance, being developed during the 15th century under the order of King Sejong the Great. Today, U+113F and other Choseongs are integral to maintaining and preserving the linguistic identity of Korean culture.
