Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ぺ has the Unicode code point U+307A. 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+307A to binary:
00110000 01111010
. 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 10111010
HIRAGANA LETTER PE·U+307A

Description
U+307A is a typographical character from the Japanese script, specifically belonging to the Hiragana alphabet. In its typical usage within digital text, it represents the phonetic sound "pe" in the Japanese language. As part of the Hiragana writing system, it plays an essential role in Japanese linguistic and cultural contexts. Hiragana is one of three scripts used in modern Japanese writing, alongside Kanji and Katakana, with each script serving different functions for representing words and phrases. The character U+307A is utilized to convey the sound "pe" in a wide variety of Japanese words, which could range from simple nouns and adjectives to more complex structures such as verb conjugations or compound words. In technical terms, the character U+307A is part of the Unicode Standard, a global coding system designed to standardize text representation on computers and digital devices. By using Unicode-compliant fonts and software, users can accurately display and process characters like U+307A across various platforms and applications, thus promoting cross-cultural communication and understanding in our increasingly interconnected world.
