Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᇆ has the Unicode code point U+11C6. 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+11C6 to binary:
00010001 11000110
. 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 10000110

Description
The Hangul Jongseong Nieun-Tikeut (U+11C6) is a significant character in the Korean alphabet system, Hangul. As a jongseong, it represents an initial consonant cluster in the Korean language and plays a crucial role in the construction of syllable blocks called jamo. The Nieun-Tikeut specifically denotes the aspirated "n" sound when followed by certain vowels, contributing to the rich phonetic diversity of the Korean language. This character holds immense cultural and linguistic importance as Hangul, of which the U+11C6 character is a part, was developed during the 15th century under the direction of King Sejong the Great to promote literacy among common people in Korea. Today, it remains an integral component of the Korean digital text, showcasing the robustness and adaptability of Hangul in the modern era.
