Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᇵ has the Unicode code point U+11F5. 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+11F5 to binary:
00010001 11110101
. 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 10000111 10110101

Description
U+11F5 (HANGUL JONGSEONG HIEUH-NIEUN) is a unique character within the Unicode Standard, specifically designed for use in digital text encoding of the Korean language. As part of the Hangul syllabary, this particular jongseong character plays a crucial role in constructing consonant sounds that form the basis of the Korean writing system. Hangul Jongseong Hieuh-Nieun is often combined with other Hangul characters, including both vowel (Hangul Jamo) and additional jongseong elements, to create meaningful syllables and words. In the context of linguistic and cultural significance, U+11F5 contributes to the expressiveness and richness of the Korean language, which is widely spoken in South Korea, North Korea, and other regions with significant Korean-speaking populations. The Hangul writing system itself is a testament to the ingenuity of the Korean people, as it was created during the 15th century under the rule of King Sejong the Great, aiming to make literacy accessible for everyone in Korea. Technically, U+11F5 is an essential component of digital text encoding, enabling accurate representation and communication of the Korean language on various platforms and devices. As part of the Unicode Standard, it ensures global interoperability and facilitates smooth information exchange among different technologies, including websites, applications, and document processing software. In summary, U+11F5 (HANGUL JONGSEONG HIEUH-NIEUN) is an indispensable element within the Korean language's digital text representation, reflecting its cultural, linguistic, and technical significance in the Unicode Standard.
