Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᇡ has the Unicode code point U+11E1. 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+11E1 to binary:
00010001 11100001
. 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 10100001

Description
U+11E1, or Hangul Jongseong Mieum-Hieuh, is a crucial character within the Unicode standard, specifically in digital text that utilizes the Korean writing system. As part of the extended Hangul Jongseong group, this character serves an essential function in crafting complex consonant clusters in Korean words. It represents the initial consonant sound /m/ when followed by specific vowel or jungseong characters and can be combined with various jungseongs to form a wide range of sounds. The Unicode system ensures accurate representation and encoding of text in digital environments, which is crucial for maintaining the integrity of linguistic and cultural nuances within Korean language texts.
