Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᇏ has the Unicode code point U+11CF. 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+11CF to binary:
00010001 11001111
. 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 10001111

Description
U+11CF Hangul Jongseong Rieul-Tikeut-Hieuh is a specialized character within the Unicode standard that plays a significant role in digital text, particularly in the Korean language. In its typical usage, it serves as one of the jongseong characters used in the Hangul writing system, which is utilized for encoding and displaying Korean text. Jongseong characters, such as U+11CF, help represent the consonant-initial syllables in Hangul and are crucial for accurately conveying the language's phonetic and grammatical structure. The character Hangul Jongseong Rieul-Tikeut-Hieuh is rooted in the cultural and linguistic context of Korea, where it has been an essential component of written Korean communication since its development in the 15th century under the reign of King Sejong the Great. The Hangul script, which replaced the previous complex Chinese characters-based writing system, was designed to facilitate literacy among the general population and has since become a vital symbol of national identity for Koreans. In terms of technical context, U+11CF is part of the Unicode standard, a widely adopted encoding system that enables digital text to be displayed consistently across different platforms, devices, and applications. This ensures proper representation and accessibility of Korean text containing Hangul jongseong characters like U+11CF in various digital environments, including websites, documents, and software applications.
