Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᆺ has the Unicode code point U+11BA. 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+11BA to binary:
00010001 10111010
. 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 10111010

Description
The Unicode character U+11BA (HANGUL JONGSEONG SIOS) is a crucial component of the Korean language, specifically in its digital text representation. This character serves as a jongseong, which are consonant-forming components of the Hangul writing system, and represents the phonetic element /s/. In this capacity, U+11BA helps to construct syllables in Korean by combining with vowels (moon), known as jungseong, to form a wide array of words. This precise and accurate representation of the /s/ sound in digital text is essential for maintaining linguistic integrity in written Korean communication, ensuring clarity and comprehension among speakers of the language. Given its significance in the Hangul script, U+11BA plays an indispensable role in supporting and promoting Korean culture and language worldwide through digital means.
