Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+3130. 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+3130 to binary:
00110001 00110000. 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 10110000

Description
U+3130 is a Unicode character with the code point representing the Katakana letter 'ウ' (U). In digital text, this character typically represents the syllable 'u' in the Japanese writing system, specifically within the Katakana script. Katakana is one of the three scripts used to write the Japanese language, the others being Hiragana and Kanji. U+3130 plays a crucial role in modern Japanese digital text by enabling accurate representation and transmission of the unique sounds, meanings, and nuances inherent to the language. The character 'ウ' is derived from Chinese characters, reflecting Japan's linguistic and cultural history with China. In technical terms, U+3130 belongs to the Katakana block in the Unicode Standard, which comprises a wide range of characters used for both phonetic and ideographic purposes in the Japanese language.
