Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᆫ has the Unicode code point U+11AB. 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+11AB to binary:
00010001 10101011
. 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 10101011

Description
The Unicode character U+11AB represents the Hangul Jongseong Nieun (ᄺ), a significant component of the Korean alphabet system known as Hangul. Hangul is an indigenous writing system that has been in use since the 15th century, providing a comprehensive and phonetic approach to written communication. The character U+11AB, or ᄺ, specifically denotes the initial consonant sound "n" when used in conjunction with Hangul Jamo, which are the basic constituent units of Hangul. In digital text, the use of U+11AB aids in accurately transcribing and translating Korean language content. Its role is essential for maintaining the correct pronunciation and meaning within the context of Hangul-based written communication. As an integral part of Hangul, U+11AB reflects the rich cultural history and linguistic development of the Korean language, demonstrating the dynamic relationship between script, sound, and culture in the context of digital text.
