Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᄱ has the Unicode code point U+1131. 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+1131 to binary:
00010001 00110001
. 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 10110001

Description
The Unicode character U+1131 is known as Hangul Choseong Sios-mieum. In the realm of digital typography, it plays a crucial role in representing the Korean language, specifically in the Hangul script. This script has been the native writing system of Korea for over 500 years and is still in widespread use today. U+1131 is part of the first category of Hangul consonants, or Choseong, which consist of 14 basic characters that are further combined with Jamo, which are vowels and other secondary consonant characters to form syllable blocks that comprise the Korean language. The Hangul script is unique in its phonetic structure, where each character represents a distinct sound, unlike many other scripts where characters can have multiple pronunciations. U+1131 specifically represents an initial consonant with a release of air from the mouth and can be combined with Jamo to form various Korean syllables and words. This character's usage is therefore of significant importance in digital communication, literature, education, and translation of the Korean language worldwide.
