Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᅧ has the Unicode code point U+1167. 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+1167 to binary:
00010001 01100111
. 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 10100111

Description
U+1167 is a Hangul Jungseong Yeo character, which plays an essential role in the Korean writing system. It is a component of the Hangul script used in digital text to represent various consonant sounds in the Korean language. In this context, it serves as a jungseong, meaning a consonant element within the Hangul script, comprising 19 distinct jungseongs. These characters are combined with vowels (moonje) and other syllable-forming components to create complex syllables known as jamo, which together form words in Korean. U+1167 specifically represents the Yeo consonant sound, which is pronounced like the English "y" or "w" depending on its context within a syllable block. The Hangul script is unique as it was designed based on scientific principles, making it highly phonetic and learnable, contributing to the cultural and linguistic significance of U+1167 in digital text for Korean communication.
