Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᇐ has the Unicode code point U+11D0. 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+11D0 to binary:
00010001 11010000
. 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 10010000

Description
The character U+11D0, also known as HANGUL JONGSEONG SSANGRIEUL, plays a vital role in the Korean language's typography system. As part of the Unicode Standard, it is used to represent specific syllable-forming components in the Korean script. Hangul Jongseong SSangrieul serves as a conjunctive jongseong character that when combined with other hangul elements forms consonant clusters or helps modulate the sound structure of the word. This enables a more nuanced and expressive communication within the Korean language. The character U+11D0 is often employed in digital text processing, software development, and typeface design to support accurate rendering of Korean text on various platforms and devices. It contributes significantly to the cultural, linguistic, and technical aspects of the Korean typography system by enabling precise representation of its unique script structure.
