Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ば has the Unicode code point U+3070. 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+3070 to binary:
00110000 01110000. 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 10000001 10110000

Description
The Unicode character U+3070 represents the Hiragana letter "ば" (Hiragana Letter BA). This letter is a vital component of the Japanese writing system, specifically in the Hiragana script, which is used alongside the Katakana and Kanji scripts. In digital text, such as online documents, emails, or website content, U+3070 serves as an essential character for rendering accurate translations and representations of the Japanese language. The Hiragana script is predominantly utilized in informal contexts, such as children's literature, personal communication, and casual writing. However, it also plays a crucial role in combining with Katakana or Kanji characters to form words in various grammatical structures. U+3070 contributes significantly to the readability and comprehension of Japanese text by native speakers and learners alike.
