Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ひ has the Unicode code point U+3072. 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+3072 to binary:
00110000 01110010. 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 10110010

Description
The Unicode character U+3072 represents the Japanese Hiragana letter "ひ" (Hiragana Letter HI). In digital text, it plays a pivotal role in conveying meaning, as it is one of the core components of the modern Japanese writing system. Hiragana is predominantly used for native Japanese words, grammatical particles, and as a complement to Kanji, another Japanese script. This character contributes significantly to the cultural, linguistic, and technical context of the Japanese language, making it an essential building block in communication. Accurately representing the sound "hi" or "bi," the Hiragana Letter HI is crucial for the correct transcription and interpretation of words in written Japanese.
