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.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 4471 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+1177. 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+1177 to binary: 00010001 01110111. 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 10110111
