Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᇤ has the Unicode code point U+11E4. 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+11E4 to binary:
00010001 11100100
. 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 10100100

Description
U+11E4, known as HANGUL JONGSEONG PIEUP-PHIEUPH, is a crucial character in the Korean script system, particularly in digital text representation. This Unicode character plays a vital role in constructing native Korean words and phrases. In the Hangul writing system, Jongseong refers to a class of consonants that serve as base elements for forming syllables. Pieup-Phieuph is a combination of two distinct jongseong sounds: "Pieup" (ㅍ) and "Phieuph" (ㅼ). The use of these sounds allows Korean language speakers to create a wide variety of words, enabling them to express various meanings and nuances. In addition to its linguistic significance, U+11E4 has important cultural implications as it contributes to the preservation and evolution of the Korean language in digital formats.
