Description

The Unicode character U+111A is designated as Hangul Choseong Rieul-Hieuh (ᄲ). In the realm of digital text, it serves a significant role in the Korean language. This specific Hangul script component is one of the 24 initial consonants or "choeseong" in the Hangul writing system. The Hangul alphabet was developed during the 15th century under the rule of King Sejong the Great, and it remains one of the most recognizable and widely used writing systems globally. Hangul Choseong Rieul-Hieuh specifically contributes to building syllables in the Hangul script, which is a critical aspect of the Korean language. The character forms part of composite characters that are combined with vowels (known as "jeong") to create complete syllable blocks. This unique feature allows the Korean language to be written and read efficiently, making it an essential element in preserving and promoting Korea's linguistic heritage. Given its cultural and linguistic importance, U+111A is frequently used in digital communications, applications, and documents that require accurate representation of the Korean language. The use of this character, along with others from the Hangul script, underscores the significance of Unicode's commitment to encoding a wide range of characters from diverse languages and scripts around the world. This ensures that texts and information in different languages can be accurately displayed, read, and understood across various digital platforms and devices.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 4378 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout

    The character has the Unicode code point U+111A. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0800 to 0xffff.

    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 the x are the payload bits.

    UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range
    Codepoint RangeBytesBit patternPayload length
    U+0000 - U+007F10xxxxxxx7 bits
    U+0080 - U+07FF2110xxxxx 10xxxxxx11 bits
    U+0800 - U+FFFF31110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx16 bits
    U+10000 - U+10FFFF411110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx21 bits
  2. Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:

    Convert the hexadecimal code point U+111A to binary: 00010001 00011010. Those are the payload bits.

  3. 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 10011010
