Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᆪ has the Unicode code point U+11AA. 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+11AA to binary:
00010001 10101010
. 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 10000110 10101010

Description
The Unicode character U+11AA, "HANGUL JONGSEONG KIYEOK-SIOS," holds a significant position in digital text representation for the Korean language. In Hangul, the Korean writing system, this jongseong (consonant) is used to represent the sound "ki" followed by the consonant "yo" and serves as an integral part of creating syllables. U+11AA particularly contributes to forming composite syllable blocks in digital text when combined with other hangul jamos (alphabetic components). The character's usage is deeply rooted in Korea's cultural heritage and linguistic practices, demonstrating the richness and complexity of the Korean language. In a technical context, U+11AA is part of the "Hangul Syllables Compatibility" block within the Unicode Standard, ensuring accurate digital representation and preservation of this essential component of the Korean script.
