Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ぶ has the Unicode code point U+3076. 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+3076 to binary:
00110000 01110110. 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 10110110

Description
U+3076 is a specific character within the Unicode standard, representing the Hiragana letter "ブ". In digital texts, this character typically serves as part of the Japanese writing system, used alongside other Hiragana characters to form words and phrases in the modern Japanese language. Hiragana is one of three scripts used in contemporary Japanese writing, with Kanji (borrowed from Chinese) and Katakana being the others. U+3076's usage within these scripts provides a phonetic system that makes it easier for readers to understand written text. Although primarily used in digital texts today, Hiragana has deep cultural and linguistic roots, evolving from an earlier script called Kana during Japan's Heian period (794–1185).
