Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character げ has the Unicode code point U+3052. 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+3052 to binary:
00110000 01010010. 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 10010010

Description
The Unicode character U+3052 represents the Japanese Hiragana letter "げ" (ge). In digital texts, this character serves as a fundamental component of written communication in modern Japanese language, used for spelling words and constructing sentences. As part of the Hiragana script, U+3052 plays a vital role in rendering the pronunciation and phonetics of the spoken language, facilitating effective reading and comprehension. The character "げ" has no specific cultural or linguistic notability outside its position in the broader context of the Japanese writing system, which combines Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji scripts to convey meaning. However, it is essential to note that Hiragana is often used alongside the other two scripts, particularly for grammatical particles and pronunciation guidance, showcasing its integral role in Japanese typography.
