Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㄓ has the Unicode code point U+3113. 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+3113 to binary:
00110001 00010011. 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 10010011

Description
The Unicode character U+3113 represents the Bopomofo letter "Zh" (姪), which is used primarily in digital text to transcribe the pronunciation of Mandarin Chinese characters. Bopomofo is a phonetic script developed during the early 20th century in China for transcribing Mandarin, and it plays a crucial role in Chinese language education, particularly in teaching pronunciation to non-native speakers. Each Bopomofo character corresponds to a syllable or sound in Standard Mandarin, facilitating a more systematic approach to learning the language's complex tonal system. The use of U+3113 and other Bopomofo characters has been instrumental in promoting better understanding and communication between Chinese speakers and learners worldwide, contributing significantly to the globalization of the Chinese language.
