Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᅰ has the Unicode code point U+1170. 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+1170 to binary:
00010001 01110000
. 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 10110000

Description
The Unicode character U+1170 represents the Hangul Jungseong WE (한글 중성 웨), a component of the Korean alphabet system known as Hangul. In digital text, this character serves as a base for constructing syllables in the Korean language. The Hangul Jungseong WE is one of the 193 jungseong (middle consonants) used to represent consonant sounds in the Korean script, and it appears alongside jamo (consonant-vowel units) to form complex characters. U+1170 is part of the larger Unicode block for Hangul Compatibility, which encompasses a variety of characters essential to the Korean writing system. While not widely recognized in non-Korean contexts, the character U+1170 plays a vital role in maintaining linguistic integrity and facilitating accurate communication among Korean speakers.
