Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᄉ has the Unicode code point U+1109. 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+1109 to binary:
00010001 00001001
. 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 10001001

Description
The Unicode character U+1109, HANGUL CHOSEONG SIOS, plays a crucial role in the Korean language by serving as a consonant in the Hangul writing system. In digital text, it is typically used to represent the sounds /ɕ/ or /s/, and is part of the larger set of Hangul Jamo, which comprises 40 individual consonants called Choseong, 14 vowels known as Jongseong, and 256 combination forms referred to as Jongmu. This character contributes to the distinctive phonetic and visual features of Hangul, an alphasyllabic writing system that has been widely adopted in South Korea and North Korea for its simplicity, efficiency, and expressiveness. As a core component of the Hangul script, U+1109 is deeply rooted in Korean culture and history, playing a vital role in shaping the linguistic landscape of the Korean-speaking world.
