Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㄪ has the Unicode code point U+312A. 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+312A to binary:
00110001 00101010. 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 10101010

Description
The Unicode character U+312A, known as BOPOMOFO LETTER V, is a crucial element in the Bopomofo script, which is utilized to transcribe Mandarin Chinese into a phonetic system. In digital text, it fulfills a vital function by representing the specific sound "v" in Mandarin pronunciation. The Bopomofo script was developed during the early 20th century and has been widely used in linguistic studies, teaching Chinese as a foreign language, and creating pinyin romanization systems for Mandarin Chinese. As a typographic character, U+312A contributes to the accurate representation of spoken Mandarin sounds in written form, facilitating communication and understanding between speakers of different languages. Its inclusion in Unicode enables its seamless integration into various digital platforms, promoting cultural exchange and fostering global comprehension of Mandarin Chinese phonetics.
