Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᇢ has the Unicode code point U+11E2. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
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 thexare 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+11E2 to binary:
00010001 11100010. 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 10100010

Description
U+11E2, or HANGUL JONGSEONG KAPYEOUNMIEUM, is a vital component of the Korean language's digital text representation system. This Unicode character plays a crucial role in the orthography of the Korean alphabet, Hangul, by serving as one of the 19 jongseong characters used to represent consonant sounds. Specifically, KAPYEOUNMIEUM contributes to forming the initial consonant cluster when combined with other hangul elements such as vowels (moonjeong) and jungseong. Its use is integral to creating a broad range of Korean words in digital format. The Hangul writing system, which includes this character, has its origins in the 15th century during the Joseon Dynasty when it was created by the royal decree of King Sejong the Great. Today, Hangul remains widely used and cherished as an emblematic element of Korean culture.
