Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character た has the Unicode code point U+305F. 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+305F to binary:
00110000 01011111. 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 10011111

Description
The Unicode character U+305F represents the Japanese Hiragana letter "た" (Ta). In digital text, this character is commonly used within the Japanese language for phonetic purposes. It plays a significant role in transcribing spoken Japanese and forms part of the essential structure of the Hiragana script, which includes 46 basic characters and numerous combinations. Ta is one of these fundamental characters that contribute to constructing syllables and words. The Hiragana script holds an important place in both written and digital communication in Japan, as it facilitates reading and comprehension for learners and native speakers alike. Its cultural significance lies in its use across various forms of media, literature, and communication, reflecting the richness of Japanese language and culture. In a technical context, U+305F is part of the Hiragana block within the Unicode Standard, which provides a unique code for every character used in written languages worldwide. This universal coding system ensures smooth interchangeability and legibility across different platforms and devices, making U+305F as indispensable in digital communication as it is in traditional Japanese literacy.
