Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character な has the Unicode code point U+306A. 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+306A to binary:
00110000 01101010. 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 10101010

Description
U+306A is the Unicode code point for the Hiragana letter "ナ" (pronounced as "na"), which plays a significant role in digital text, particularly within the Japanese language. As part of the Hiragana script, it serves as an essential component of modern written Japanese and is used for various purposes such as grammatical particles, pronunciation guides, and forming words. The Hiragana writing system, along with Katakana and Kanji, forms the basis of the Japanese writing system, enabling effective communication in both spoken and written forms. U+306A and other Hiragana characters contribute to the rich linguistic diversity of Japan, showcasing its unique cultural identity and historical development.
