Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character 〭 has the Unicode code point U+302D. 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+302D to binary:
00110000 00101101. 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 10101101

Description
The Unicode character U+302D, known as the IDEOGRAPHIC ENTERING TONE MARK, plays a significant role in digital text processing, particularly within the realm of the Japanese language. It is primarily used to denote entering tones in pre-composed characters for modern Japanese typography, helping to convey pitch and intonation patterns in spoken language more accurately. The character's importance stems from its ability to enhance the readability and comprehension of Japanese text by representing various tonal nuances that would otherwise require separate tone marks. This contributes to a more precise and efficient representation of the spoken language, enriching digital communication in Japanese.
