Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᇦ has the Unicode code point U+11E6. 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+11E6 to binary:
00010001 11100110
. 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 10100110

Description
U+11E6 (HANGUL JONGSEONG KAPYEOUNPIEUP) is a Korean typography character that plays a crucial role in the Korean writing system, Hangul. As a Jongseong character, it serves as a component of composite characters or as a modifier for consonants in the Hangul script. Typically used in digital text, U+11E6 contributes to the formation of various complex syllables, adding nuances and distinctions in pronunciation and meaning. Its significance lies not only in its technical function but also in its reflection of Korean language's rich cultural heritage and linguistic complexity. The Hangul script, UNESCO's Memory of the World, showcases the innovation and artistic merit of the Korean people.
