Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character 〓 has the Unicode code point U+3013. 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+3013 to binary:
00110000 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 10000000 10010011

Description
The Unicode character U+3013, known as the Geta Mark, holds a significant role in digital text, particularly within the Japanese writing system. It is primarily utilized to denote a consonant sound or syllabic mark in various Japanese texts. Its typical usage lies in the field of onomatopoeia and the representation of certain phonetic sounds that do not fall under standard Japanese characters. This character often appears alongside furigana, a system used for assisting readers with the pronunciation of kanji characters. Geta Mark is essential for maintaining linguistic accuracy within textual content where such sounds or syllables are required. In this context, it contributes to cultural preservation and ensures that historical nuances within Japanese literature are accurately conveyed in digital formats.
