Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᅗ has the Unicode code point U+1157. 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+1157 to binary:
00010001 01010111. 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 10010111

Description
The character U+1157, also known as Hangul Choseong Kapyeounphieuph, is a crucial element in the Korean writing system. This character plays an essential role in digital text, specifically in the Hangul script which is used predominantly in South Korea and North Korea for their respective official languages, Korean (South) and Korean (North). The Hangul script was created during the 15th century by King Sejong the Great as a phonetic alphabet to replace the Classical Chinese characters that were then used. As one of the 14 Choseong consonants in Hangul, U+1157 contributes significantly to the formation of syllables in Korean text. Each Choseong consonant is followed by a Jamo (vowel or consonant) to create a single Hangul syllable block. These blocks are then combined to form words and sentences. The technical context of U+1157, as well as its other 2049 Unicode characters, is in the encoding and representation of these Hangul syllables on digital platforms such as computers and smartphones. This ensures that Korean text can be accurately displayed and edited across various devices and software worldwide. The character U+1157 and the rest of the Hangul script are important not only for linguistic reasons but also hold cultural significance in South Korea and North Korea. The creation of a native writing system, as opposed to relying on Classical Chinese characters, marked a significant step towards asserting national identity and cultural autonomy during a time when these regions were heavily influenced by Chinese culture. Today, the Hangul script remains a testament to the linguistic ingenuity and cultural resilience of the Korean people.
