Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ゐ has the Unicode code point U+3090. 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+3090 to binary:
00110000 10010000. 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 10010000

Description
U+3090 is the Unicode for Hiragana Letter ウ (Wi), a character in the Japanese writing system. This character is primarily used in digital text to represent the sound "u" or "wi" when written using the Hiragana script, which is one of three scripts used in the Japanese language. Hiragana is often used as a phonetic alphabet and is frequently seen in conjunction with Kanji and Katakana characters, providing context for the pronunciation and meaning of complex symbols. The character ウ holds cultural significance in Japan, where it plays a critical role in written communication, education, and literature. In addition to its linguistic importance, U+3090 also has technical implications as it's part of an encoding standard, Unicode, which facilitates the accurate representation and display of text across different platforms and devices, thus promoting internationalization and global accessibility.
