Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᄀ has the Unicode code point U+1100. 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+1100 to binary:
00010001 00000000
. 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 10000000

Description
The Unicode character U+1100 is known as Hangul Choseong Kiyeok, a significant element within the Korean alphabet system, Hangul. It plays an essential role in digital text by representing one of the 24 basic consonants that form the foundation of the Hangul script. Developed during the 15th century under the rule of King Sejong the Great, Hangul has been a vital part of the Korean language and culture for over 600 years. The Choseong Kiyeok character contributes to the articulation of various syllables in the Korean language when combined with vowel symbols called Jungs and Medials (also known as Jamos). Although this character does not have a direct equivalent in English, its usage within digital text is crucial for accurate translation and representation of Korean literature, documents, and communications. The Hangul script, which includes characters like U+1100, remains an emblematic symbol of the Korean nation's linguistic identity and cultural heritage.
