Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᆮ has the Unicode code point U+11AE. 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+11AE to binary:
00010001 10101110
. 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 10101110

Description
The Unicode character U+11AE represents the Hangul Jongseong Tikeut, a vital component of the Korean writing system. In digital text, it serves as one of the jongseong (종성) characters, which are used to construct consonant clusters in the Hangul script. These consonants are combined with vowel letters called yeongjo (영조), and the combination of these elements forms syllables, known as jamo (자모). The Hangul Jongseong Tikeut plays a crucial role in conveying the accurate pronunciation and meaning of Korean words. The character has significant cultural, linguistic, and technical importance, as it is an essential part of the modern Korean alphabet, which was standardized during the 15th century by King Sejong the Great. This alphabet replaced Classical Chinese characters, enabling a more accessible way for people to read, write, and communicate in the Korean language. Today, the Hangul Jongseong Tikeut character remains an indispensable part of digital text, facilitating accurate communication in Korean across various platforms and applications.
