Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ゝ has the Unicode code point U+309D. 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+309D to binary:
00110000 10011101. 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 10011101

Description
The Unicode character U+309D represents the Hiragana Iteration Mark in the modern written language system of Japan. This symbol plays a pivotal role in digital text, specifically within the context of Japanese typography. It is used to facilitate the accurate representation of certain characters in Hiragana, particularly when they appear adjacent to numbers or other specific symbols that could be misinterpreted by a computer or typesetting system. The Iteration Mark helps ensure the correct interpretation and display of these characters, preserving their intended meaning and facilitating seamless communication within digital environments.
