Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character し has the Unicode code point U+3057. 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+3057 to binary:
00110000 01010111. 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 10010111

Description
The character U+3057 is a Hiragana letter known as "シ" (Shi) in the Japanese script. It plays a crucial role in digital text, especially in electronic documents, websites, and social media platforms that use Unicode for encoding characters from different languages. As a part of the Hiragana script, U+3057 is used extensively within the Japanese language for phonetic representation, grammatical functions, and to create various words and expressions. In addition, it has cultural significance in Japan, where Hiragana is one of the three scripts used (alongside Kanji and Katakana) and is often taught first to young children learning to read and write. U+3057 represents a critical aspect of the Japanese language, its linguistic structure, and the country's rich cultural heritage.
