Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᅮ has the Unicode code point U+116E. 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+116E to binary:
00010001 01101110
. 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 10101110

Description
The Unicode character U+116E, also known as HANGUL JUNGSEONG U, plays a significant role in the Korean language's digital text representation. As part of the Hangul writing system, it serves as one of the 24 jungseong, or vowel-like syllable blocks, used to construct Korean words. U+116E specifically represents the syllable "우" (pronounced as "u" in English) when combined with the appropriate consonant (jongseong). The Hangul script, which includes jungseong and jongseong characters, is highly efficient and practical for both writing and typing due to its phonetic structure. U+116E and other Unicode characters contribute to the accurate and consistent representation of the Korean language across various digital platforms and applications, enabling better communication and understanding among speakers of the language.
