Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᅿ has the Unicode code point U+117F. 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+117F to binary:
00010001 01111111. 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 10111111

Description
U+117F (HANGUL JUNGSEONG O-EO) is a significant character within the Unicode system, representing a specific element in the Korean language's typography. In digital text, it is commonly used to denote 'O', which is part of the Jongseong group in the Hangul script. This group includes consonant characters, and each one has an associated Jungseong (vowel) character, allowing for the creation of syllable blocks that form words within the Korean language. U+117F's inclusion in Unicode reflects the increasing digitization of languages globally, providing a universal way to encode, store, and exchange data in different scripts. It is essential to maintain accuracy when using characters like U+117F, as even minor errors can lead to incorrect interpretations and miscommunication. By understanding and properly utilizing these Unicode characters, typographers and designers can ensure the accurate representation of the Korean language in digital mediums, contributing to cultural preservation and linguistic accessibility.
