Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᅯ has the Unicode code point U+116F. 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+116F to binary:
00010001 01101111
. 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 10101111

Description
The Unicode character U+116F, or HANGUL JUNGSEONG WEO, is a fundamental component of the Korean alphabet, known as Hangul. It serves as a consonant in the system, which consists of a set of 144 basic characters, or jungseong, each represented by a unique code point within the Unicode Standard. This character plays a critical role in digital text, enabling accurate representation and manipulation of Korean language texts across various platforms and applications. The Hangul system is deeply rooted in Korean culture, as it was developed during the 15th century to promote literacy among the general population, and has since become an integral part of Korea's linguistic and cultural identity. U+116F's precise function within the Hangul alphabet, along with other jungseong characters, contributes to the richness and expressiveness of the Korean language in written form.
