Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᇶ has the Unicode code point U+11F6. 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+11F6 to binary:
00010001 11110110
. 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 10110110

Description
The character U+11F6, commonly known as "HANGUL JONGSEONG HIEUH-RIEUL," holds a significant position within the Korean language's typography system. In digital text, it is typically utilized in conjunction with other Hangul characters to form syllables, which collectively constitute words in the Korean language. This character specifically represents the consonant cluster 'ch' or 'jh', and it contributes to the pronunciation of the word when paired with a vowel represented by another Hangul character, called HANGUL JONGSEONG VOWEL. The Hangul script, which consists of these characters - Hangul Jongseong consonants and Hangul Jongseong vowels - is an entirely indigenous writing system created during the 15th century under the Joseon Dynasty in Korea. It replaced the Classical Chinese script that was previously used, enabling a more efficient and phonetic method of communication within the Korean language. U+11F6, like other Hangul Jongseong consonants, is an essential element in preserving and promoting the rich linguistic heritage of Korea, facilitating accurate representation and transmission of the Korean language across digital platforms and ensuring its future viability.
