Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+3104. 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+3104 to binary:
00110001 00000100. 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 10000100

Description
The Unicode character U+3104, also known as the character 3104, holds a significant position in the realm of digital typography. This particular symbol is an essential component of the Hiragana script, which is primarily used in the Japanese language. In this context, it represents the "ち" (chi) sound, forming part of the syllabary that constitutes the basis of written Japanese. The Hiragana script is not only vital for its practical use in the Japanese language but also holds a rich cultural and linguistic history, stemming from the Heian period (794-1185) when it was developed as an auxiliary to the Kanji script. The U+3104 character, along with other Hiragana characters, has played a pivotal role in the evolution of written Japanese, facilitating both native and non-native speakers to learn and understand this intricate language more easily. In terms of technical context, Unicode is an indispensable standard in digital typography as it provides a unique number for every character, ensuring that text can be consistently rendered across different platforms and devices. This means that U+3104 ensures consistent rendering and interpretation of the "ち" sound in any digital environment, making it a crucial aspect of modern typographic design and digital text processing systems.
