Description

U+11FC (HANGUL JONGSEONG KIYEOK-CHIEUCH) is a vital character in the Korean alphabet system, known as Hangul. In digital text, this specific Unicode character serves to represent a consonant, more specifically the sound /k/ or /t/, depending on its combination with other letters in the Hangul system. As a part of the Jongseong group, it is used primarily within the context of creating compound characters that together form complete words. Its cultural and linguistic significance lies in the fact that Hangul, as an alphabet created during the 15th century, has proven to be incredibly effective in written communication. Despite its seemingly limited usage in modern times due to the incorporation of Latin script in many digital platforms, U+11FC remains a critical component of the Korean language's rich and complex writing system.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 4604 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout

    The character has the Unicode code point U+11FC. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0800 to 0xffff.

    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 the x are the payload bits.

    UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range
    Codepoint RangeBytesBit patternPayload length
    U+0000 - U+007F10xxxxxxx7 bits
    U+0080 - U+07FF2110xxxxx 10xxxxxx11 bits
    U+0800 - U+FFFF31110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx16 bits
    U+10000 - U+10FFFF411110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx21 bits
  2. Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:

    Convert the hexadecimal code point U+11FC to binary: 00010001 11111100. Those are the payload bits.

  3. 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 10111100
