Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᆎ has the Unicode code point U+118E. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
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 thexare 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+118E to binary:
00010001 10001110. 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 10001110

Description
U+118E, Hangul Jungseong Yu-A, is a crucial component of the Korean writing system, known as Hangul. In digital text, this character serves as a constitutive element for creating syllables in the Korean language. The Hangul system comprises three distinct types of characters: Hangul Jamo (individual consonants and vowels), Hangul Jungseong (syllable-forming consonants), and Hangul Jongseong (syllable-forming vowels). Each character works in combination with others to form syllables, which further compose words. U+118E specifically represents the Jungseong Yu-A, a syllable-forming consonant that typically appears before certain vowel characters to form specific sounds within Korean words. This character holds significant cultural and linguistic value in Korea as Hangul is the native script of the Korean language, dating back to its creation by King Sejong the Great in 1443. The Korean alphabet has since evolved into a phonetic writing system, enabling widespread literacy among Koreans. Today, Hangul and its Unicode characters like U+118E are essential for digital communication and representation of Korean text across various platforms. In summary, U+118E, Hangul Jungseong Yu-A, is a crucial component of the Korean writing system, Hangul, playing an integral role in forming syllables within the language. Its cultural and linguistic significance, as well as its technical context within digital text, highlight its importance to the Korean language and its speakers.
