Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᇺ has the Unicode code point U+11FA. 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+11FA to binary:
00010001 11111010
. 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 10111010

Description
The Unicode character U+11FA represents the Hangul Jongseong Kiyek-Nieun, a significant component of the Korean writing system. In digital text, this character serves as a consonant in the Hangul script, contributing to the formation of syllables when combined with other Hangul characters. The Hangul script, which uses U+11FA among other Unicode characters, is the native alphabet of the Korean language and is known for its efficiency, simplicity, and phonetic accuracy. U+11FA is part of a group of 40 jongseong characters that represent initial consonant sounds in Hangul syllables. The character U+11FA specifically represents the consonantal sound "k" followed by the semivowel "y". This precise phonetic representation enables the accurate and efficient transcription of the Korean language, which is essential for both written communication and language preservation.
