Description

The Unicode character U+309F represents the Japanese Hiragana digraph "Yori" (ヨリ), which is composed of two individual Hiragana characters: よ (U+3082) and り (U+309A). In digital text, this combination of characters serves a crucial function in representing sounds within the Japanese language. Hiragana is one of three scripts used in Japanese writing, alongside Katakana and Kanji. The script's syllabic nature enables it to phonetically represent words and phrases more effectively than the logographic Kanji characters. U+309F's cultural significance stems from its use in written forms of the Japanese language, which is spoken by over 126 million people worldwide and is an official language of Japan. The technical aspect of U+309F relates to its encoding within the Unicode Standard, ensuring proper display across various digital platforms and devices.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12447 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout

    The character has the Unicode code point U+309F. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0800 to 0xffff.

    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 the x are the payload bits.

    UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range
    Codepoint RangeBytesBit patternPayload length
    U+0000 - U+007F10xxxxxxx7 bits
    U+0080 - U+07FF2110xxxxx 10xxxxxx11 bits
    U+0800 - U+FFFF31110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx16 bits
    U+10000 - U+10FFFF411110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx21 bits
  2. Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:

    Convert the hexadecimal code point U+309F to binary: 00110000 10011111. Those are the payload bits.

  3. 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:
