Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character る has the Unicode code point U+308B. 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+308B to binary:
00110000 10001011. 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 10001011

Description
U+308B, also known as Hiragana Letter Ru (ひ), is a character from the Japanese writing system, Hiragana. In digital text, it serves as a phonetic symbol used primarily in written Japanese language. The Hiragana script consists of 46 basic characters and additional forms, which are combined to create syllables and words. U+308B is part of the Unicode Standard, an essential encoding system that provides unique numeric codes for over 100,000 characters from various languages and scripts worldwide. Hiragana plays a significant role in modern Japanese literature, education, and digital communication, enabling efficient reading, writing, and sharing of information among native speakers and learners alike.
