Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character と has the Unicode code point U+3068. 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+3068 to binary:
00110000 01101000. 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 10101000

Description
The Unicode character U+3068 is a symbol of the Japanese writing system, specifically representing the Hiragana letter 'ト' (Hiragana Letter TO). In digital text, this character holds an essential role as it helps convey meaning and context in written Japanese language. In Japanese typography, Hiragana is used alongside Kanji and Katakana to create a rich and expressive written language. While Kanji characters often denote nouns, verbs, adjectives, or ideograms that represent abstract concepts, Hiragana serves as a phonetic alphabet, providing pronunciation for these characters and other words in the language. The cultural significance of Hiragana is vast, as it forms the basis for reading and writing in modern Japanese. U+3068, or 'ト', contributes to this importance by being one of the 46 basic Hiragana letters. The use of these characters allows for easy communication among Japanese speakers while also facilitating the understanding of the language by learners. In technical terms, U+3068 is part of the Unicode Standard, which aims to provide a unique code for every character used in written languages across the world. This standardization ensures that digital text is accurately represented and accessible across various platforms, applications, and devices.
