Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character か has the Unicode code point U+304B. 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+304B to binary:
00110000 01001011. 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 10001011

Description
U+304B, or HIRAGANA LETTER KA, is a significant character within the Japanese writing system. It plays an integral role in digital text as it is one of the 46 basic characters that form the foundation for constructing words in the modern Japanese language. The Hiragana script is primarily used in conjunction with the more formal Katakana script to convey different phonetic nuances, grammatical aspects, and emotional contexts in written communication. This versatile character contributes to the rich linguistic landscape of Japanese, allowing for a wide range of expressions and meanings when combined with other Hiragana and Katakana characters.
