Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ヿ has the Unicode code point U+30FF. 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+30FF to binary:
00110000 11111111. 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 10000011 10111111

Description
U+30FF is a character in the Unicode standard that represents the Katakana digraph "Koto" (カト). Katakana is one of the three scripts used to write the Japanese language, along with Hiragana and Kanji. The Katakana script is primarily used for foreign words, onomatopoeic expressions, proper nouns, and as a phonetic syllabary. U+30FF plays a crucial role in digital text by enabling accurate representation of the "Koto" sound in various Japanese text-based applications, such as websites, software, and documents. The character contributes to the precise conveying of meaning and phonetics in digital texts, helping to maintain the integrity of the Japanese language within the realm of technology.
