Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᇳ has the Unicode code point U+11F3. 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+11F3 to binary:
00010001 11110011
. 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 10110011

Description
U+11F3 (HANGUL JONGSEONG PHIEUPH-PIEUP) is a crucial character in the Korean language's digital text representation. In Hangul, the Korean writing system, this character serves as a jongseong, which is a component of the script that denotes consonant clusters. Specifically, HANGUL JONGSEONG PHIEUPH-PIEUP represents a combination of the phieuph and pieup sounds, creating a distinct syllable block in Hangul's unique phonetic system. In digital text, U+11F3 is used alongside other Hangul characters to construct words and sentences, enabling accurate and efficient communication in Korean. The character's significance extends beyond language, as it reflects Korea's rich cultural heritage and the evolution of its writing system from an entirely alphabetic script to a highly phonetic one, which has been instrumental in the standardization and modernization of the Korean language.
