Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᇁ has the Unicode code point U+11C1. 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+11C1 to binary:
00010001 11000001
. 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 10000001

Description
U+11C1 is a Hangul Jongseong Phieuph, which plays a pivotal role in the Korean language's digital text system. It is one of the many components that make up the Hangul script, a writing system used primarily in South Korea and North Korea. The Hangul script was first created during the 15th century under the Joseon Dynasty, marking a significant advancement in the development of the Korean language. Each Hangul character is made up of a combination of these Jongseong (constituent) letters, which serve to modify the basic consonants and vowels, allowing for a wide range of phonetic combinations. Specifically, U+11C1 represents the aspirated initial sounds that follow the Hangul base letter. Its presence in digital text ensures the accurate representation and encoding of these phonetic nuances in the Korean language, facilitating clear communication and comprehension among speakers.
