Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᄸ has the Unicode code point U+1138. 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+1138 to binary:
00010001 00111000
. 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 10111000

Description
U+1138 is the Unicode character code for Hangul Chooseong Sios-Khieukh, a significant component in digital text representation of the Korean language. In Hangul, a writing system used primarily in Korean, Chooseong is one of four basic types of consonants, known as Jamos. These Jamos are fundamental building blocks that form syllables, which then compose words and sentences. Sios-Khieukh is a specific type of Chooseong, contributing to the diverse range of sounds represented in the Korean language. Digital text representation using U+1138 facilitates seamless communication and information exchange across various platforms and devices, which are increasingly critical in today's interconnected world. The role of Hangul Chooseong Sios-Khieukh extends beyond linguistic boundaries, highlighting the significance of Unicode as a universal character encoding standard that supports over 140,000 characters from diverse scripts and languages worldwide. While U+1138 is specific to Korean language, its importance in digital text represents a broader global context, emphasizing the necessity for accurate, inclusive, and accessible representation of all languages in our increasingly connected world.
