Description

The Unicode character U+118C represents the Hangul Jungseong U-Ye (유역). In the field of typography and digital text, this character plays a significant role in the Korean language system. It is part of the Hangul writing system, which is used predominantly in South Korea and North Korea for their native language. U+118C contributes to creating syllables (모음) or consonants (소자) when combined with other Hangul letters, allowing for a wide range of expressions in the Korean language. Notably, the Korean writing system is highly systematic and phonetic, making it easier for learners to understand its structure. The Hangul Jungseong U-Ye character specifically helps to form words by altering the basic consonant sounds in the Korean alphabet, thus playing a crucial part in the linguistic context of Korean text. Technically, U+118C is included in the Unicode Standard, which aims to provide a unique code for every character, symbol, or glyph across all languages and scripts. This makes it possible for digital devices and software to accurately represent and process text from different languages, ensuring effective communication and reducing barriers between people of diverse linguistic backgrounds.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 4492 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+118C. 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+118C to binary: 00010001 10001100. 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 10000110 10001100
