Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㄊ has the Unicode code point U+310A. 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+310A to binary:
00110001 00001010. 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 10001010

Description
The character U+310A, Bopomofo Letter T, holds a significant position within the realm of digital typography, specifically in the translation and transcribing of Mandarin Chinese text. It is an essential component of the Bopomofo alphabet system, which is used to phonetically represent the sounds of the Standard Mandarin Chinese language. U+310A is instrumental in facilitating a more seamless understanding between digital content creators and readers who may not be fluent in Mandarin but can recognize the corresponding phonetic symbols. Despite its relative obscurity compared to other widely used characters, U+310A plays an indispensable role in bridging linguistic barriers, enabling effective communication across various cultures, and fostering global understanding.
