Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character つ has the Unicode code point U+3064. 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+3064 to binary:
00110000 01100100. 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 10100100

Description
The character U+3064 represents the Hiragana letter 'つ' (pronounced "tu") in Unicode encoding. In digital text, this character is commonly used within the Japanese language to represent various sounds and syllables. As part of the Hiragana script, it plays a significant role in written communication, enabling fluent reading and writing in modern Japanese. Its usage primarily serves functional purposes rather than representing any particular cultural or linguistic nuances. Due to its technical nature as an encoding character, U+3064 does not have any notable cultural or historical contexts. However, it is a fundamental component of the Hiragana alphabet and contributes to accurate text processing and display across digital platforms.
