Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ゖ has the Unicode code point U+3096. 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+3096 to binary:
00110000 10010110
. 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 10000010 10010110

Description
U+3096 is a character in the Unicode Standard representing the Hiragana letter "小ке" (小け), commonly referred to as "Small Ke." In digital text, it typically plays a crucial role within the Japanese writing system, particularly in the context of the Hiragana script. Hiragana serves as one of three scripts used in modern Japanese typing and handwriting, alongside Katakana and Kanji. It is primarily utilized for phonetic purposes, such as indicating pronunciation or reading order in words composed of kanji characters. Furthermore, Small Ke, like other Hiragana characters, is used to represent syllables, which are essential components of the Japanese language. As a result, U+3096 plays an indispensable role in enabling accurate and efficient communication in digital text among native speakers and learners of Japanese worldwide.
