Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᇪ has the Unicode code point U+11EA. 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+11EA to binary:
00010001 11101010
. 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 10101010

Description
The character U+11EA (HANGUL JONGSEONG SIOS-PIEUP) is a crucial component of the Hangul script, the native writing system of the Korean language. As part of the extended Unicode standard, it enables accurate representation and transmission of text in digital environments, enhancing communication and preserving cultural identity for speakers of Korean. In its typical usage, U+11EA serves as a jongseong, or consonant-modifier, which helps to denote the correct pronunciation and structure of words in Hangul. This role is essential due to the phonetic nature of the script, where each syllable block consists of a unique combination of jongseong and jungseong (vowel) elements. The character U+11EA specifically represents the "sios" sound, which occurs at the end of certain syllables in Korean words. With its inclusion in the Unicode standard, U+11EA contributes to bridging linguistic barriers and promoting cross-cultural understanding through the use of accurate digital text representation.
