Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ね has the Unicode code point U+306D. 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+306D to binary:
00110000 01101101. 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 10101101

Description
U+306D is a specific Unicode character that represents the Hiragana letter "ネ". In digital text, this character is typically used in Japanese typography to represent the phonetic sound "ne" or "nee" depending on its context. As part of the Hiragana script, U+306D plays a crucial role in written Japanese, which is a language widely spoken in Japan and by Japanese communities worldwide. It serves as a syllabary to help readers phonetically decode words and phrases. U+306D's cultural significance stems from its use in the Japanese writing system, which consists of three scripts: Kanji (Chinese characters), Hiragana, and Katakana. The combination of these scripts enables Japanese speakers to express a wide range of ideas, emotions, and concepts with precision and nuance. In typography, each character has its own unique design and stroke order, contributing to the visual aesthetics and readability of digital text. By understanding and mastering U+306D and other Hiragana characters, learners can gain fluency in reading and writing Japanese, a valuable skill in both professional and personal contexts.
