Description

The Unicode character U+11E3, known as "HANGUL JONGSEONG PIEUP-RIEUL," is an essential component of the Korean script system. In digital text, it serves a vital role in representing the consonant sounds in the Korean language. This character is particularly significant in crafting syllables, where it forms combinations with vowels called "HANGUL JUNG" (U+1161 - U+117F) and vowel-like elements known as "HANGUL CHISOE" (U+11A8 - U+11C2). Together, they form the foundation of the Korean Hangul writing system. As a constituent of the Korean script, the character U+11E3 has deep cultural and linguistic roots in Korea, where Hangul has been used since the 15th century under the reign of King Sejong the Great. The efficient and phonetic nature of the Korean writing system has made it accessible to learners and contributed to the rapid dissemination of literacy throughout the Korean-speaking population. In terms of technical context, U+11E3 is part of the Korean Hangul Compatibility Jamo block (U+A960 - U+A97F), which includes 16 jongseong characters, representing initial consonant sounds in the Korean language. These jamos are essential for encoding text accurately and ensuring that Korean documents are displayed correctly on various devices and platforms worldwide.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 4579 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout

    The character has the Unicode code point U+11E3. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0800 to 0xffff.

    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 the x are the payload bits.

    UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range
    Codepoint RangeBytesBit patternPayload length
    U+0000 - U+007F10xxxxxxx7 bits
    U+0080 - U+07FF2110xxxxx 10xxxxxx11 bits
    U+0800 - U+FFFF31110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx16 bits
    U+10000 - U+10FFFF411110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx21 bits
  2. Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:

    Convert the hexadecimal code point U+11E3 to binary: 00010001 11100011. Those are the payload bits.

  3. 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 10100011
