Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᅡ has the Unicode code point U+1161. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
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 thexare 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+1161 to binary:
00010001 01100001. 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 10000101 10100001

Description
The Unicode character U+1161, Hangul Jungseong A, plays a crucial role in the Korean language's digital representation. It is part of the Hangul system, which forms an essential basis for written Korean communication. This particular jungseong (complementary component) is used alongside other Hangul letters and jungseongs to create syllables, or "segments," in a phonetic writing system. In this way, U+1161 contributes to the accuracy and efficiency of transcribing the Korean language digitally. As for its cultural and linguistic significance, Hangul is not only the official script of South Korea but also holds historical importance as an indigenous script that replaced Chinese characters in the 15th century during the Joseon Dynasty. This shift marked a significant milestone in establishing Korean identity and literature.
