Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ふ has the Unicode code point U+3075. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+3075 to binary:
00110000 01110101
. 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 10110101
HIRAGANA LETTER HU·U+3075

Description
The Unicode character U+3075 represents the Japanese Hiragana letter 'フ' (HU). In digital text, it serves a vital role as a core component of the modern Japanese writing system. Hiragana is used alongside the more formal script Kanji and the phonetic script Katakana for written communication in Japan. The character U+3075 specifically represents the sound 'hu' in the Romanized form 'Hyou'. Despite its digital representation, it maintains strong cultural significance as part of Japan's rich linguistic heritage, symbolizing a link to tradition and identity. Technically, each Hiragana character has a unique code point in Unicode, facilitating global communication and preserving the integrity of Japanese text across different digital platforms and applications.
