Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᅽ has the Unicode code point U+117D. 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+117D to binary:
00010001 01111101
. 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 10111101

Description
U+117D, or HANGUL JUNGSEONG YEO-O, is a crucial character in the Korean alphabet system known as Hangul. In digital text, it typically serves as one of the many constituent parts that form words and phrases within the Korean language. Each jungseong (조성) character represents a basic consonant sound, while yeodis (ㅏ-ㅣ) signify vowel sounds. The combination of these characters enables accurate pronunciation and communication in the Korean language. This specific character, Yeo-O, is particularly significant as it denotes the open-mid back unrounded vowel sound /ʌ/. HANGUL JUNGSEONG YEO-O's importance lies not only in its linguistic role but also its cultural significance, as Hangul has been recognized as a crucial element of Korean national identity and heritage. The character system itself is highly regarded for its phonetic clarity and simplicity, making it accessible to learners while preserving the richness of the Korean language.
