Description

U+112F, or Hangul Choseong Sios-Tikeut, is a crucial character within the Korean language's writing system. In digital text, it serves as an essential component of the Hangul script, which constitutes one of the two official writing systems of the Korean language, alongside Hanja (Chinese characters). As a Chooseong, or initial consonant, in the syllable-based Hangul script, U+112F contributes to the formation of various syllables and words. The character is unique as it specifically represents a distinct sound when combined with a Jamo (vowel or consonant) in Hangul's phonetic system. The Hangul script has been widely adopted due to its ease of learning, and U+112F plays an integral role in this accessibility. Furthermore, the character Sios-Tikeut exhibits cultural significance as it helps preserve and propagate the Korean language and identity.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 4399 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+112F. 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+112F to binary: 00010001 00101111. 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 10101111
