Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ら has the Unicode code point U+3089. 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+3089 to binary:
00110000 10001001. 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 10000010 10001001

Description
The Unicode character U+3089 represents the Hiragana letter "ら" (ra) and is an essential element of the Japanese writing system. In digital text, it serves as a building block for constructing words and phrases in the Japanese language. The Hiragana script is widely used for native Japanese words and grammatical elements, acting as a complement to Kanji, which are borrowed Chinese characters, and Katakana, used primarily for foreign words and onomatopoeia. U+3089 is integral to the cultural, linguistic, and technical context of the Japanese language, enabling accurate communication, expression, and preservation of the rich Japanese literary heritage.
