Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᄫ has the Unicode code point U+112B. 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+112B to binary:
00010001 00101011
. 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 10101011

Description
U+112B, Hangul Chooseong Kapyeounpieup, is a character within the Unicode standard that holds a significant role in digital text representation, specifically in the Korean language. This character forms part of the Hangul writing system, which was developed during the 15th century and remains the official script for the Korean language today. In the context of typography, Chooseong is one of the four basic components that make up a Hangul syllable block - the others being Jongseong, Jamo, and Gujeong. Kapyeounpieup denotes a specific type of Chooseong character, used to represent an initial consonant with a "p"-like sound at the beginning of a syllable block in Hangul script. Its typical usage is to help convey meaning and grammatical structure within digital texts written in Korean, enabling accurate communication and preserving linguistic identity online.
