Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᆷ has the Unicode code point U+11B7. 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+11B7 to binary:
00010001 10110111
. 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 10110111

Description
U+11B7 Hangul Jongseong Mieum is a crucial component of the Korean alphabet system, Hangul. As one of the 24 Jongseong consonants, it is used in conjunction with Hangul Jamo (syllable blocks) to form words and phrases in the Korean language. In digital text, U+11B7 serves as a vital building block for accurately representing the Korean script on devices and platforms that support Unicode, enabling clear communication and exchange of information between speakers of the language. As with other Hangul characters, U+11B7 is deeply rooted in the rich cultural history and linguistic complexity of Korea, showcasing the evolution of the written Korean language from its initial development by King Sejong the Great's scholars in the 15th century. The precise use of U+11B7 in various contexts contributes to the phonetic and phonological structure of Korean words, highlighting the systematic nature of Hangul as a writing system designed for ease of learning and pronunciation.
