Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character も has the Unicode code point U+3082. 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+3082 to binary:
00110000 10000010
. 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 10000010 10000010

Description
The Unicode character U+3082 represents the Hiragana letter "も" (MO). In digital text, it plays a significant role in the Japanese language, as Hiragana is one of three scripts used to write Japanese, alongside Katakana and Kanji. This character is primarily utilized in casual writing, such as in everyday conversation, personal messages, and informal texts. The MO character has no distinctive cultural or linguistic significance on its own but contributes to the overall expression and meaning when combined with other characters in a sentence. As part of the Hiragana script, it helps convey various grammatical functions, including particles that indicate the relationship between words and phrases. The use of U+3082 MO and other Hiragana characters is vital for accurate and effective communication in the Japanese language.
