Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᅦ has the Unicode code point U+1166. 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+1166 to binary:
00010001 01100110
. 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 10100110

Description
The Unicode character U+1166 (HANGUL JUNGSEONG E) is an essential component of the Korean writing system, serving as a jungseong, which is a consonant in Hangul, the native script of Korean language. In digital text, it represents one of the 24 jungseongs, each corresponding to a specific consonant sound in Korean. Hangul is known for its phonetic and logical consistency, making it easier to learn than many other writing systems. U+1166 contributes to this simplicity by representing the 'e' sound, part of the rich linguistic heritage that includes thousands of hanja (Chinese characters) in addition to Hangul. The character is widely used in digital communication and text processing, facilitating the exchange of Korean language content across various platforms and devices. Its accurate and systematic representation in Unicode ensures the preservation and accessibility of Korean culture and history for future generations.
