Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᇲ has the Unicode code point U+11F2. 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+11F2 to binary:
00010001 11110010
. 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 10110010

Description
U+11F2 is a Hangul Jongseong, specifically the Yesieung-Pansios character. In digital text, this character plays an essential role in constructing native Korean words. The character belongs to the Hangul script and is part of the Unicode Standard, which facilitates consistent representation and encoding of text across different platforms and devices. Its primary use is within the Korean language system where it serves as a jongseong (consonant) component in syllable blocks called jamo, alongside vowels (mullae). These jamo form the basis for constructing words in Hangul, allowing users to input and display text using the standardized code points. While U+11F2 does not have any direct cultural or linguistic significance on its own, it is a critical piece of the larger Korean typographical system. As part of the Unicode Standard, the character helps maintain consistency and accuracy in digital text representation for the Korean language, enhancing readability and usability.
