Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ち has the Unicode code point U+3061. 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+3061 to binary:
00110000 01100001. 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 10100001

Description
The Unicode character U+3061 represents the Hiragana letter 'ち' (Ti), which is a phonetic symbol in the Japanese writing system. In digital text, it plays a vital role in enabling accurate communication by representing the sound "tī" or "chī." Hiragana is one of three scripts used in the modern Japanese writing system, alongside Kanji and Katakana. It is primarily used for native Japanese words, grammatical particles, and personal names. The script's simplicity and phonetic nature make it accessible to learners, while its cultural significance contributes to the richness and expressiveness of the Japanese language. U+3061 is an essential component in the accurate representation and preservation of this linguistic heritage in digital environments.
