Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ぷ has the Unicode code point U+3077. 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+3077 to binary:
00110000 01110111. 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 10110111

Description
U+3077 is the Unicode code point for Hiragana letter "Pu" (ぺ). It is a character used in modern Japanese typography, particularly in digital texts. The Hiragana script is one of three scripts used to write the Japanese language, along with Katakana and Kanji. U+3077's role in these texts involves representing a specific sound or syllable in the spoken language. In terms of cultural context, Hiragana is often used in conjunction with Kanji, which consists of Chinese characters adapted to the Japanese writing system, and Katakana, which was originally used for foreign words but has now become common in various other situations as well.
