Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character へ has the Unicode code point U+3078. 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+3078 to binary:
00110000 01111000. 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 10111000

Description
U+3078 is the Unicode character for "ヒ" (Hiragana Letter He), which is a character in the Hiragana script used in the Japanese writing system. It represents the syllabic sound "he" or "ho." In digital text, ヒ is often employed to indicate phonetic pronunciation, as well as for various morphological functions, such as forming verb conjugations and adjectival inflections. As a component of the Japanese writing system, Hiragana plays an essential role in written communication in Japan. It complements Kanji, which are Chinese-derived characters that carry meaning, to create a comprehensive and nuanced system of expression in digital text. This unique combination of syllabary (Hiragana) and logographic characters (Kanji) allows for the precise and expressive communication of ideas, emotions, and information in the Japanese language.
