Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᆗ has the Unicode code point U+1197. 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+1197 to binary:
00010001 10010111
. 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 10010111

Description
U+1197, known as Hangul Jungseong Yi-U, is a significant character within the Unicode Standard, specifically in digital text dealing with the Korean language. As part of the Hangul script, this character holds substantial cultural, linguistic, and technical importance. The role of U+1197 in digital text lies in its contribution to constructing a wide range of syllables in Hangul, the native script of the Korean language. This particular character is one of 24 consonant-vowel jungseong units that are combined with an initial consonant (also from the Hangul consonants) and a final consonant to form complete syllables. The Hangul script, which was standardized in 1985, is known for its efficiency and simplicity, making it easier to learn than other complex writing systems. U+1197 specifically represents the 'y' sound when used with an initial and final consonant. Its significance lies not just in its individual use but also in how it contributes to the complete expression of Hangul syllables, which are essential for reading, writing, and communicating in Korean. Overall, U+1197 plays a crucial role in maintaining and preserving the linguistic richness and cultural heritage of the Korean language through its digital representation in the Unicode Standard.
