How to convert special characters to hex? ( in Android )

Convert some special characters into hex value.

For example :

Hex value of "ㅂ" is "e3 85 82"

Hex value of "ㅈ", "ㄷ", and "ㄱ" are "e3 85 88", "e3 84 b7", and "e3 84 b1" respectively.

I tried below method but it works only for ";", "#" etc

Integer.toHexString("ㅂ") , gives "3142" value. But correct hex value should be "e3 85 82".

String to Hex

Your answer encoding is in UNICODE(hex) and you need to convert it into UTF8(hex)

Convert String to hex.

public static void main(String[] args) throws UnsupportedEncodingException {
    String chr = "ㅂ";
    System.out.print(toHex(chr));
}
//String to hex
public static String toHex(String arg) throws UnsupportedEncodingException {
    //Change encoding according to your need 
    return String.format("%04x", new BigInteger(1, arg.getBytes("UTF8")));
}

Output:- e38582
