Description

U+11DC (HANGUL JONGSEONG MIEUM-PIEUP) is a crucial component of the Hangul script, serving as a jongseong, which are consonant groups in the Korean writing system. In digital text, this character typically represents the initial consonant cluster of the syllable block, contributing to the formation of words and phrases in the Korean language. As part of the Unified Hangul Code (UHC) system, U+11DC helps enable the accurate rendering and input of the Hangul script on digital devices and platforms, facilitating communication and information exchange for millions of native Korean speakers worldwide. The character's usage is deeply rooted in the rich cultural and linguistic history of Korea, reflecting the importance of the Hangul script as a symbol of national identity and pride.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 4572 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout

    The character has the Unicode code point U+11DC. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0800 to 0xffff.

    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 the x are the payload bits.

    UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range
    Codepoint RangeBytesBit patternPayload length
    U+0000 - U+007F10xxxxxxx7 bits
    U+0080 - U+07FF2110xxxxx 10xxxxxx11 bits
    U+0800 - U+FFFF31110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx16 bits
    U+10000 - U+10FFFF411110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx21 bits
  2. Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:

    Convert the hexadecimal code point U+11DC to binary: 00010001 11011100. Those are the payload bits.

  3. 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 10011100
