Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᅀ has the Unicode code point U+1140. 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+1140 to binary:
00010001 01000000
. 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 10000000

Description
U+1140 is the Unicode code point for 'HANGUL CHOSEONG PANSIOS', a character from the Korean script Hangul. In digital text, this character typically serves as part of a larger group of characters known as syllable blocks, which together form words in the Korean language. Each of these syllable blocks is composed of one consonant (choseong), one vowel (jeong), and up to four semi-vowels (jung, jieug, or mieum) or a combination thereof. Pansios, as part of the choseong group, contribute to the formation of these syllable blocks, which are essential for the accurate representation and transmission of Korean text in digital systems. Aside from its technical role, Hangul is deeply rooted in the rich cultural heritage of Korea, reflecting a long history of linguistic evolution and development that began in the 15th century under the Joseon Dynasty. Today, Hangul remains a crucial element of Korean identity and the language's ongoing vitality.
