Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᆾ has the Unicode code point U+11BE. 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+11BE to binary:
00010001 10111110
. 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 10000110 10111110

Description
The Unicode character U+11BE, also known as HANGUL JONGSEONG CHIEUCH (ᄸ), is a vital component in the Korean script system, specifically within the Hangul writing system. This character serves as one of the 24 jongseong (조성) consonants in the modern Korean alphabet, which consists of 14 basic consonants and 10 additional ones derived from Chinese characters. U+11BE is typically used in digital text to represent a voiced palatal plosive sound, similar to the English "g" but produced further back in the mouth with the blade of the tongue positioned near the hard palate. In the context of the Hangul writing system, this character helps construct syllables when combined with other vowel characters (called jungseong), allowing for the accurate representation of Korean phonology and grammar. U+11BE has no direct equivalent in the English alphabet or other Latin-based scripts, highlighting the unique cultural and linguistic significance of Hangul as a writing system. In terms of technical context, U+11BE is part of the Unicode Standard, a coding system designed to represent all characters from every language worldwide, emphasizing its role in global digital communication and information exchange.
