Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᇹ has the Unicode code point U+11F9. 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+11F9 to binary:
00010001 11111001
. 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 10111001

Description
The Unicode character U+11F9, HANGUL JONGSEONG YEORINHIEUH, is a crucial component of the Korean writing system. In digital text, it serves as a jongseong, which are consonant-like syllables used in conjunction with vowels (called jungseong) and combining marks to form complete syllables, known as hangul. Hangul is the official script of the Korean language, designed during the 15th century by King Sejong the Great to promote literacy among his subjects. The character U+11F9 specifically contributes to the formation of syllables ending in 'ie', a common sound in the Korean language. Its usage reflects the rich linguistic and cultural heritage of Korea, and it plays a vital role in accurately transcribing spoken Korean into written form. In terms of technical context, U+11F9 is part of the Unicode Standard, which aims to represent all characters used across languages worldwide, ensuring effective communication and preservation of linguistic diversity in digital environments.
