Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᆸ has the Unicode code point U+11B8. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
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 thexare 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+11B8 to binary:
00010001 10111000. 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 10111000

Description
U+11B8 Hangul Jongseong Pieup is a crucial character within the Korean language's writing system, Hangul. This jongseong (조성) component is used to modify the basic hangul letters (called jamo) and help create various consonant clusters that are essential for the Korean alphabet. In digital text, it often precedes vowel characters, such as U+1161 Hangul Vowel Yeo or U+1165 Hangul Vowel Eo, to construct syllable blocks necessary for forming words. The usage of this character contributes significantly to the linguistic and cultural richness of the Korean language, which is widely spoken in South Korea and North Korea. By understanding the role of U+11B8 Hangul Jongseong Pieup in the Korean script, one can gain insight into the intricate details of a writing system that effectively balances phonetic, morphological, and semantic elements.
