Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᅼ has the Unicode code point U+117C. 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+117C to binary:
00010001 01111100
. 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 10111100

Description
U+117C, or HANGUL JUNGSEONG EO-EU, is a crucial character within the Korean script system. It holds a significant position in digital text, serving as a consonant jungseong in the Hangul writing system of the Korean language. Jungseongs form the skeletal structure of Korean words, with each syllable comprising a jungseong and a jamo, the latter being a vowel or semivowel. The EO-EU jungseong specifically represents an aspirated 'l' sound. In cultural and linguistic contexts, HANGUL JUNGSEONG EO-EU is part of a written language that has been used for centuries, providing a rich heritage in Korean literature and communication. It showcases the unique characteristics of the Korean script system, which differentiates it from other global writing systems. The Hangul script was invented during the 15th century under the reign of King Sejong the Great to promote literacy among the common people, demonstrating its historical significance in promoting education and social mobility. Technologically speaking, U+117C is coded using Unicode, a computing industry standard for representing text from all written languages, ensuring accurate digital representation and rendering across various platforms and devices. This encoding system supports the continuation of the rich Korean literary tradition into the modern digital age, ensuring that characters like HANGUL JUNGSEONG EO-EU can be preserved and shared accurately across the globe.
