Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ど has the Unicode code point U+3069. 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+3069 to binary:
00110000 01101001. 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 10101001

Description
The Unicode character U+3069 is the typographical representation of the Hiragana letter "ど" (do). In the context of digital text, this character plays a significant role in modern Japanese writing systems, specifically in the Hiragana script, which forms part of the more comprehensive Kanji-Kana system. This system simplifies the complex Chinese characters that make up the majority of written Japanese language, making it more accessible to native speakers. The Hiragana letter "ど" (U+3069) represents the sound "do", and is used to construct words in a phonetic manner within the Japanese language. This character, like all Hiragana characters, does not carry any specific cultural or linguistic connotations outside of its role as part of a word or phrase, which contributes to the versatility and fluidity of written Japanese. However, it is important to note that despite its seemingly simple appearance, the accuracy and correct usage of these characters are vital in digital text, as they can significantly impact the clarity and meaning of communication in the Japanese language.
