Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ぬ has the Unicode code point U+306C. 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+306C to binary:
00110000 01101100. 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 10101100

Description
The character U+306C, also known as Hiragana Letter ヌ (Nu), is a fundamental component of the Japanese writing system, particularly in digital text. It plays a crucial role in representing the phonetic sound "nu" or "nuu," which is an essential aspect of spoken and written communication in the Japanese language. In digital text, Hiragana Letter ヌ, like other characters in the Hiragana script, serves to convey grammatical particles, verb conjugations, and various meanings based on its position within a word or sentence. This script is widely used alongside Katakana, another Japanese syllabary, and Kanji, borrowed Chinese characters, to create the rich tapestry of written Japanese. Hiragana, including the character ヌ, is integral to the cultural, linguistic, and technical context of modern Japanese language and digital communication. Its simplicity and phonetic consistency make it accessible for learners while preserving the nuances and expressiveness of the Japanese language.
