Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᅅ has the Unicode code point U+1145. 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+1145 to binary:
00010001 01000101
. 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 10000101 10000101

Description
The character U+1145, Hangul Choseong Sieos (한글 첩성 이은), is a fundamental component of the Korean language's writing system, Hangul. As one of the 24 Choseongs in the Hangul alphabet, it serves as a consonant base that modifies subsequent consonants and vowels, determining both pronunciation and meaning within words. Typically used in digital text, this character contributes significantly to the richness and diversity of Korean script, enabling millions of speakers worldwide to read, write, and communicate effectively. In terms of cultural significance, Hangul represents a historic achievement in linguistic and cultural development; it was created during the 15th century under the leadership of King Sejong the Great, marking a significant shift away from Classical Chinese characters that previously dominated literacy in Korea. Today, Hangul remains not only a crucial tool for communication but also a symbol of national pride.
