Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㄉ has the Unicode code point U+3109. 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+3109 to binary:
00110001 00001001. 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:
11100011 10000100 10001001

Description
The Unicode character U+3109, commonly referred to as BOPOMOFO LETTER D, is a crucial component of the Bopomofo script system used in transcribing the Mandarin Chinese language. In digital text, this character serves as an indispensable element for accurately representing specific phonetic sounds and pronunciation patterns within the Chinese linguistic framework. Its significance stems from its role in facilitating the understanding and translation of Mandarin, a widely spoken language with global implications for communication and cultural exchange. The Bopomofo script is often employed in teaching and learning contexts to aid non-native speakers in grasping the intricate phonetic structure of Mandarin Chinese. As such, U+3109 holds substantial value in both linguistic and educational domains, demonstrating the versatility and necessity of Unicode characters in preserving cultural heritage and fostering global communication.
