Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᇃ has the Unicode code point U+11C3. 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+11C3 to binary:
00010001 11000011
. 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 10000011

Description
The Unicode character U+11C3 represents the Hangul Jongseong Kiyeok-Rieul, a consonant in the Korean language. In digital text, this character is typically used to represent the sound "ㄲ" or "k" when followed by specific vowel signs in Hangul script, a system of writing native to Korea. As part of the Extended Hangul Compatibility Jamo set (U+1100–U+11FF), U+11C3 contributes to the vast and complex Korean language system, which is comprised of Hangul, Hanja, and various other scripts. The Hangul script itself was created during the 15th century, under the reign of King Sejong the Great, in an effort to make written communication more accessible to the common people by replacing the then-used complex Chinese characters. Today, Hangul remains a significant part of Korean culture and is used widely in South Korea and North Korea for written communication.
