Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character べ has the Unicode code point U+3079. 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+3079 to binary:
00110000 01111001. 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 10111001

Description
The Unicode character U+3079 represents the Hiragana letter 'べ' (Hiragana Letter BE), which is a component of the Japanese writing system, consisting of three scripts - Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji. In digital text, the character is utilized to encode and display this particular syllabic phoneme in various software applications and online platforms that support Unicode encoding. The Hiragana script, along with Katakana, is primarily used for native Japanese words, while Kanji characters are borrowed from Chinese. U+3079, or Hiragana Letter BE, plays a crucial role in transcribing spoken Japanese into written form, enabling accurate communication and information exchange within the Japanese-speaking community and those learning the language.
