Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᄞ has the Unicode code point U+111E. 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+111E to binary:
00010001 00011110
. 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 10011110

Description
U+111E is the Unicode character code for "HANGUL CHOSEONG PIEUP-KIYEOK", a unique typographical element in the Korean script system. It predominantly serves in digital text as a component of composite characters, particularly within Hangul syllables. This character plays a crucial role in creating consonant sounds in the Korean language. U+111E combines with other Hangul components to form consonants and syllables. In terms of its linguistic context, it is found in many common Korean words, demonstrating the efficiency of the Hangul script system where a limited number of basic elements are combined in various ways to represent all possible sounds and thus, words in the language. The character's technical significance lies in the Unicode system's ability to accurately represent such complex combinations, thereby preserving the integrity of the Korean language in digital communication worldwide.
