Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ぇ has the Unicode code point U+3047. 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+3047 to binary:
00110000 01000111. 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 10000111

Description
U+3047 is the Unicode character code for the Hiragana letter "す" (small e), a character from the Japanese script used in digital text. Hiragana is one of three scripts in the Japanese writing system, alongside Kanji and Katakana. This script is commonly employed in informal writing, such as in personal communications, manga, and informational texts. It is also used for typing furigana, which is a system to provide phonetic guidance for characters, typically when using Kanji in written text. The Hiragana letter "す" (U+3047) represents the sound /su/ in Japanese. In the context of linguistic and cultural studies, Hiragana plays a crucial role in understanding the nuances of the Japanese language, as it not only represents sounds but also carries grammatical functions within words. The use of U+3047 and other Hiragana characters in digital text is vital for accurate and meaningful communication in the Japanese language online.
