Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᆨ has the Unicode code point U+11A8. 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+11A8 to binary:
00010001 10101000
. 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 10101000

Description
The Unicode character U+11A8 is known as "HANGUL JONGSEONG KIYEOK" and plays a significant role in the Korean language, which employs the Hangul writing system. In digital text, it serves as part of the complex system of Hangul, where it combines with Hangul Jamo (consonants, vowels, and final consonants) to form syllables essential for constructing words in Korean. U+11A8 specifically represents a final consonant called "Kiyeok," which is pronounced as the English "k" or "g" sound and often denotes the sounds /k/, /g/, /ŋ/, or /ɡ/ in various contexts. The Hangul Jongseong Kiyeok character is crucial to accurate and effective communication in Korean, a language spoken by millions worldwide. The Unicode standard ensures that U+11A8 accurately represents this character across different platforms and software, facilitating the preservation of linguistic and cultural nuances in digital text.
