Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᅂ has the Unicode code point U+1142. 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+1142 to binary:
00010001 01000010
. 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 10000010

Description
The Unicode character U+1142 is known as Hangul Choseong Ieung-Tikeut, a component of the Korean alphabet system. In digital text, it typically serves as part of multi-character Hangul syllables, playing an essential role in encoding and representing the Korean language in written form. This character forms a critical piece in the complex system of Hangul, which consists of consonants (choseong), vowels (jungseong), and optional modifiers or diacritics (ieung, sios, cheonsong). The Hangul writing system is revered for its phonetic consistency, user-friendly design, and adaptability, having been developed during the 15th century under the rule of King Sejong the Great. As a component in the Korean alphabet, U+1142 demonstrates significant cultural, linguistic, and technical importance, providing a vital link between digital systems and the rich history and ongoing evolution of the Korean language.
