Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᆥ has the Unicode code point U+11A5. 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+11A5 to binary:
00010001 10100101
. 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 10000110 10100101

Description
U+11A5, known as Hangul Jungseong Yeo-Ya, is a unique character within the Unicode Standard, specifically used in digital text for the Korean language. This particular jungseong (syllable block) represents the consonant cluster "y", with an accompanying vowel "eo". In Hangul, a writing system predominantly used in South Korea and North Korea, letters are composed of a series of basic elements: jungseongs, which provide the initial consonant; choseongs, which represent vowels or semivowels; and jongseongs, which add extra features like nasalization or palatalization. U+11A5 Hangul Jungseong Yeo-Ya is a crucial component of this complex system, enabling the accurate representation of various syllables essential to conveying meaning in the Korean language. The use of Hangul and its characters, including U+11A5, showcases the rich linguistic history and cultural heritage of Korea while also allowing for efficient communication and digital text processing in the modern era.
