Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᄪ has the Unicode code point U+112A. 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+112A to binary:
00010001 00101010
. 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 10101010

Description
The Unicode character U+112A, also known as HANGUL CHOSEONG PIEUP-PHIEUPH, holds a significant role in digital text by representing a specific sound in the Korean language. This character is an essential part of the Hangul writing system, which has been widely used for over 500 years in South Korea and North Korea as their official script. It belongs to the category of hangul Choseong consonants that serve as initials or leading consonants in Korean words. U+112A, HANGUL CHOSEONG PIEUP-PHIEUPH, combines two phonetic elements – pieup (ㅁ) and phieuph (ㅣ) – which together produce a distinct sound in the Korean language. In digital text encoding, this character plays a crucial role in accurately representing the intended meaning of Korean words and phrases, facilitating effective communication and preserving linguistic traditions.
