Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ぴ has the Unicode code point U+3074. 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+3074 to binary:
00110000 01110100
. 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 10110100

Description
The Unicode character U+3074, known as the "Hiragana Letter Pi" (ゥ), is a crucial element in the Japanese writing system, Hiragana. In digital text, this character plays an essential role as it represents a specific phonetic sound and is used to construct words and phrases in modern Japanese language. The Hiragana script is primarily employed for native Japanese words and grammatical particles, while Kanji characters from Chinese origin are often used for expressing the semantic content of sentences. U+3074, or ゥ, is part of a phonetic syllabary consisting of 46 basic characters that can be combined with various diacritics to form syllables and words in Japanese. This character contributes significantly to the fluidity and readability of digital text in Japanese, facilitating effective communication among speakers of this language. The technical context of U+3074 is crucial in digital applications, as it ensures accurate representation and processing of the Japanese text.
