Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᆴ has the Unicode code point U+11B4. 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+11B4 to binary:
00010001 10110100
. 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 10110100

Description
The Unicode character U+11B4, Hangul Jongseong Rieul-Thieuth, is a crucial component of the Hangul writing system, which is used primarily in the Korean language. In digital text, this character serves to represent the syllable "리" (Ri) when combined with certain consonants called jongseong. This syllable is essential for constructing various native Korean words and phrases. The Hangul writing system, including its jongseong elements like U+11B4 Rieul-Thieuth, has played a pivotal role in promoting literacy in Korea since the 15th century, as it was designed to be easily learned by the general public. Today, Hangul remains an important symbol of Korean cultural identity and is widely used in various digital platforms for communication and information exchange.
