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.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 4401 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+1131. 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+1131 to binary: 00010001 00110001. 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 10110001
