Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᇈ has the Unicode code point U+11C8. 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+11C8 to binary:
00010001 11001000
. 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 10001000

Description
The Unicode character U+11C8, known as Hangul Jongseong Nieun-Pansios, plays a significant role in digital text representing the Korean language. In the Hangul writing system, it serves as a jongseong (중소성), which are consonant-only syllable blocks used for constructing words in Korean. The Hangul Jongseong Nieun-Pansios specifically corresponds to the Korean consonant sound 'nieun' (냥), denoting the nasalized continuation of a word or phrase. This character is an essential component in typing and encoding text accurately, contributing to the proper representation of the Korean language within digital platforms and applications. With its inclusion in Unicode, U+11C8 Hangul Jongseong Nieun-Pansios supports the seamless communication of ideas and content for Korean speakers worldwide, thereby fostering linguistic diversity and cultural exchange on a global scale.
