Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᇼ 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
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+11FC to binary:
00010001 11111100
. 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 10111100

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.
