Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᇱ has the Unicode code point U+11F1. 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+11F1 to binary:
00010001 11110001
. 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 10110001

Description
U+11F1 (HANGUL JONGSEONG YESIEUNG-SIOS) is a typographical character within the Unicode Standard, specifically in the area of Hangul, the native writing system of Korean language. This character serves as one of the jongseong elements in creating compound syllable blocks for the Korean alphabet, known as Hangul. In digital text, U+11F1 is typically utilized to represent a specific sound or phoneme in the Korean language when combined with other Hangul characters such as consonants (choung), vowels (moon), and apostrophes (acute accent) to form composite syllables. Although it may not have a direct equivalent in English, U+11F1 plays an important role in accurately transcribing the Korean language, which is spoken by millions of people worldwide. As part of Hangul, this character contributes to the linguistic richness and diversity of the Korean language and its writing system, which is known for being phonetic, concise, and visually simple yet expressive.
