Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ぽ has the Unicode code point U+307D. 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+307D to binary:
00110000 01111101. 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 10111101

Description
U+307D is a character in the Japanese writing system known as Hiragana. In Unicode, it represents the phonetic sound "po" (ぽ). As part of the Hiragana script, U+307D plays an essential role in digital text, particularly in modern Japanese typography and text input methods. Unlike Katakana, which is primarily used for transcription of foreign words or onomatopoeia, Hiragana serves various functions such as grammar, inflection, and agglutination, making it indispensable for the Japanese language. U+307D, along with other Hiragana characters, forms a crucial part of written communication in Japan and is widely used in digital devices, websites, mobile applications, and software designed for Japanese users.
