Description

The Unicode character U+1176, represented as HANGUL JUNGSEONG A-O (가), is a crucial component of the Korean writing system known as Hangul. This character serves as one of the 40 jungseong (middle consonants) in Hangul, each representing a distinct initial consonant in Korean words. In digital text, U+1176 helps maintain the accuracy and integrity of text by ensuring consistent encoding across various platforms and applications. As part of Hangul, which was developed during the 15th century under the reign of King Sejong of Joseon Dynasty, U+1176 (가) has played a significant role in shaping the Korean language, facilitating its widespread use and accessibility for millions of speakers. The character system's phonetic nature allows readers to easily decipher words by understanding their constituent parts: jungseong (middle consonants), choseong (consonant indicators), and yeongjung (vowels). This approach enables rapid reading and comprehension, making it a highly efficient writing system. In summary, U+1176 (HANGUL JUNGSEONG A-O) is a vital component of the Korean language's Hangul script, contributing to its phonetic structure and efficiency in digital text communication.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 4470 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout

    The character has the Unicode code point U+1176. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0800 to 0xffff.

    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 the x are the payload bits.

    UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range
    Codepoint RangeBytesBit patternPayload length
    U+0000 - U+007F10xxxxxxx7 bits
    U+0080 - U+07FF2110xxxxx 10xxxxxx11 bits
    U+0800 - U+FFFF31110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx16 bits
    U+10000 - U+10FFFF411110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx21 bits
  2. Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:

    Convert the hexadecimal code point U+1176 to binary: 00010001 01110110. Those are the payload bits.

  3. 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 10000101 10110110
