Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character 〴 has the Unicode code point U+3034. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+3034 to binary:
00110000 00110100
. 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 10110100

Description
The Unicode character U+3034 represents the "VERTICAL KANA REPEAT WITH VOICED SOUND MARK UPPER HALF" in digital text. This character is used within the Japanese language, specifically in vertical writing systems, where it serves as a diacritic mark for indicating a voiced sound in the Kana script. In its typical usage, U+3034 is combined with other Kana characters to convey their respective sounds and create syllables or words. Although less commonly used than horizontal writing, vertical writing holds significant cultural importance in Japan and is often utilized in calligraphy, signage, and traditional art forms. The character's inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures accurate representation of the Japanese script in digital environments, facilitating communication and preserving linguistic heritage for future generations.
