Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ぎ has the Unicode code point U+304E. 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+304E to binary:
00110000 01001110. 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 10001110

Description
The Unicode character U+304E, known as the Hiragana Letter Gi (ひ), is a fundamental component of the Japanese writing system, Hiragana. In digital text, it plays a crucial role in representing the sound "gi" and its various grammatical functions in the Japanese language. As an essential part of both written and spoken communication in Japan, Hiragana enables users to express a wide range of ideas, emotions, and information. U+304E is used within the context of the JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) X 0213 encoding system for Japanese characters, which has been widely adopted in digital applications, such as websites, documents, and software, to display and process text accurately. This character, along with other Hiragana letters, allows users to communicate effectively in the Japanese language, a major global language spoken by millions of people.
