Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᇚ has the Unicode code point U+11DA. 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+11DA to binary:
00010001 11011010
. 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 10011010

Description
U+11DA, or Hangul Jongseong Mieum-Kiyeok, is a crucial component of the Korean writing system, Hangul. In digital text, it serves as a jongseong (조성), which is one of the four essential elements in Hangul alongside jamo (자모), gujeong (구정), and jongmun (종문). Jongseong characters represent consonant clusters, and Mieum-Kiyeok specifically signifies a combination of the consonant 'm' and the nasal 'ng'. This particular character is crucial for accurately representing the pronunciation and meaning of words in the Korean language. Hangul Jongseong Mieum-Kiyeok has significant cultural, linguistic, and technical importance. It plays a vital role in preserving the unique Korean language, which does not use Chinese characters like other East Asian languages. The Korean script, created during the 15th century under the Joseon Dynasty, is known for its phonetic clarity and simplicity, making literacy accessible to all citizens. U+11DA's accurate representation of consonant clusters contributes to this accessibility, as it enables readers to accurately discern pronunciation and meaning without relying on a complex system of characters.
