Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᆯ has the Unicode code point U+11AF. 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+11AF to binary:
00010001 10101111. 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 10101111

Description
The Hangul Jongseong Rieul (U+11AF) is a vital component of the Korean script system, playing a significant role in digital text communication. As part of the Unicode Standard, U+11AF contributes to the accurate representation and encoding of the Korean language in digital platforms. In its typical usage, Hangul Jongseong Rieul serves as one of the jongseong (조성) consonant-final letters in the Hangul writing system. These letters are essential for building syllable blocks known as jamo (자모), which combined with vowels form the basic units of the Korean language. Hangul, the native script of the Korean people, has its roots in the 15th century when King Sejong the Great commissioned its development to create a more accessible written form for the masses. The Jongseong letters are critical for accurately transcribing the diverse range of consonant sounds found in the Korean language. U+11AF specifically corresponds to the "Rieul" (리슬) sound, which is a glottal stop or voiceless implosive consonant. In terms of cultural and linguistic context, Hangul Jongseong Rieul has played a pivotal role in preserving and advancing the Korean language and culture. The standardized use of U+11AF and other Unicode characters ensures that digital text remains faithful to the original intent of Hangul's creators, facilitating clear communication and understanding for both native speakers and learners alike. In summary, the Hangul Jongseong Rieul (U+11AF) is an indispensable component of the Korean script system, contributing to accurate digital text representation and encoding through its role as a jongseong consonant-final letter. Its significance lies in its support for the diverse range of consonant sounds found in the Korean language, as well as its crucial role in preserving and advancing Korean culture and communication.
