Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᇾ has the Unicode code point U+11FE. 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+11FE to binary:
00010001 11111110
. 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 10111110

Description
U+11FE, known as Hangul Jongseong Kiyek-Hieuh, is a crucial character in the Korean language's digital text system. It plays an indispensable role as a Jongseong, a class of consonant in the Hangul script used primarily in the Korean language. This character is significant as it helps convey specific phonetic values when combined with other Hangul characters, thereby enabling accurate transcription and communication. Furthermore, its importance extends beyond linguistic aspects, contributing to the preservation and advancement of Korean cultural identity by maintaining a robust digital representation of the written Korean language. Despite being less common in Western contexts, U+11FE remains an essential component of Unicode, demonstrating the comprehensive nature of this character encoding system in capturing and representing diverse writing systems globally.
