Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ろ has the Unicode code point U+308D. 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+308D to binary:
00110000 10001101. 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 10001101

Description
The Unicode character U+308D represents the Japanese Hiragana letter 'ろ' (ロ). In digital text, it serves as a core component of the modern Japanese writing system, alongside Katakana and Kanji. As part of the Hiragana script, 'ろ' is frequently used to represent the sounds "ro," "ru," or "re" depending on its position within a word. This character holds significant cultural importance in Japan, as it is one of 46 basic components used for constructing all other characters in the Hiragana system. It plays a pivotal role in enabling fluent communication and expression in the Japanese language, which is spoken by millions of people both within and outside of Japan. In terms of technical context, 'ろ' adheres to Unicode standards, ensuring compatibility across various digital platforms and devices for accurate representation and display.
