Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᅌ has the Unicode code point U+114C. 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+114C to binary:
00010001 01001100
. 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 10000101 10001100

Description
U+114C Hangul Choseong Yesieung is a key character within the Korean language system, specifically in the Hangul script. In digital text, it serves as an essential component for constructing complex syllables known as Jamos. This specific consonant, Yesieung (예응), is one of the 14 initial consonants or Choseongs in the Hangul alphabet, and it appears at the beginning of a Jamo sequence. It is essential for accurately representing the sounds of the Korean language, which relies on these unique syllable structures. The character U+114C Hangul Choseong Yesieung, along with other Hangul characters, plays a significant role in preserving and promoting Korean cultural identity and linguistic heritage. The Hangul system, created during the 15th century under the rule of King Sejong the Great, is remarkable for its phonetic consistency and simplicity, enabling even non-Korean speakers to learn and read the language relatively easily. U+114C Hangul Choseong Yesieung, as a vital part of this system, contributes to the ongoing evolution and international recognition of the Korean language.
