Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ゃ has the Unicode code point U+3083. 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+3083 to binary:
00110000 10000011. 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 10000011

Description
U+3083, or the Hiragana Letter Small Ya (小や), is a vital character in the modern Japanese writing system. As part of the Hiragana script, it plays an essential role in digital text by representing phonetic and grammatical elements within the Japanese language. Hiragana is one of three scripts used in Japanese writing, alongside Katakana and Kanji, with each serving a specific purpose. While Kanji characters are borrowed from Chinese, Hiragana is unique to Japan and evolved primarily for use in spoken Japanese. Small Ya (小や) specifically represents the sound "ya" and is frequently utilized in words and phrases where this syllable occurs. Its accurate representation is crucial for clear communication in digital text, and understanding of its role and usage is vital for those studying or engaging with the Japanese language.
