Description

The character U+1168, Hangul Jungseong Ye (여), is an essential component of the Korean writing system, Hangul. It primarily serves as a jungseong, which represents syllable-final consonants and helps in forming consonant clusters in the Korean language. In digital text, U+1168 is commonly used to accurately represent the Korean phoneme /j/ at the end of a syllable. This character plays a crucial role in preserving linguistic accuracy in digitized Korean texts, ensuring clear communication and understanding among speakers of the language. The Hangul writing system itself is globally renowned for its phonetic simplicity, making it relatively easy to learn compared to other scripts. U+1168, along with other Hangul characters, contributes significantly to this user-friendliness and continues to play a vital role in the cultural and linguistic identity of Korea.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 4456 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+1168. 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+1168 to binary: 00010001 01101000. 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 10000101 10101000
