Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᇛ has the Unicode code point U+11DB. 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+11DB to binary:
00010001 11011011
. 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 10011011

Description
U+11DB, also known as HANGUL JONGSEONG MIEUM-RIEUL, is a crucial character in the Korean script system. It serves as a consonant-final jongseong, which is a specific class of hangul letters that represent syllable final consonants. This particular jongseong carries the phonetic value "m", "n", or "ng". In digital text, it plays an essential role in ensuring accurate representation and readability of Korean language texts. As a part of the Unicode Standard, U+11DB is instrumental in promoting linguistic diversity and enhancing global communication by facilitating the proper encoding and display of Korean characters on digital platforms. Its usage is deeply rooted in Korean culture and linguistics, demonstrating the importance of accurate typography for maintaining the integrity of a language's phonetic and semantic nuances.
