Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character の has the Unicode code point U+306E. 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+306E to binary:
00110000 01101110. 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 10101110

Description
The Unicode character U+306E is a significant component of the Japanese writing system, specifically the Hiragana script. As part of the extended Hiragana set (U+3040 to U+309F), this character plays an essential role in digital text representation by serving as a building block for various kanji compounds and as a functional element in the phonetic syllabary. In terms of linguistic context, Hiragana is commonly used alongside katakana (for foreign loanwords or onomatopoeia) and kanji (Chinese characters with native Japanese meanings). This unique combination allows for the rich expression of the Japanese language, which has a limited number of phonemes compared to other languages. In terms of technical context, U+306E is encoded as a single Unicode code point in digital text, allowing for seamless and accurate representation across various platforms, devices, and software applications.
