Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᅷ has the Unicode code point U+1177. 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+1177 to binary:
00010001 01110111
. 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 10110111

Description
U+1177, also known as HANGUL JUNGSEONG A-U, is a character from the Unicode standard. In digital text, it serves a vital role in encoding the Korean language, which uses the Hangul writing system. The Hangul script comprises three types of characters: Hangul Jamo (which includes consonants and vowels), Hangul Jungseong (which include final-particle endings or suffixes, as well as other grammatical markers), and Hangul Jongseong (which includes verb/adjective stems). HANGUL JUNGSEONG A-U is one of these latter characters. It does not hold any special cultural, linguistic, or technical significance on its own but contributes to the coherence and readability of Korean text when used in conjunction with other Hangul characters. By accurately encoding these characters in a digital environment, U+1177 plays a crucial role in preserving and promoting the use of the Korean language in digital text formats, which ensures that speakers of this language can communicate effectively and maintain their cultural heritage online.
