Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᅸ has the Unicode code point U+1178. 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+1178 to binary:
00010001 01111000
. 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 10111000

Description
U+1178, or Hangul Jungseong Ya-O, is a crucial component of the Korean writing system, Hangul. It serves as a consonant in this phonetic script, which was developed during the 15th century under the direction of King Sejong the Great. As one of the essential elements in Hangul, U+1178 contributes to the formation of various syllables and words by combining with other Hangul characters called Jungsung and Choseongs. The unique structure of Hangul allows for easy learning and pronunciation by beginners, which has contributed to its widespread use in South Korea and North Korea. In digital text, U+1178 is rendered as '야' or '야', enabling seamless communication and expression in the Korean language across various platforms and devices.
