Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character を has the Unicode code point U+3092. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+3092 to binary:
00110000 10010010
. 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 10010010

Description
The Unicode character U+3092 represents the "Hiragana Letter WO" (わ), a symbol from the Japanese writing system. In digital text, it is used primarily for transcribing spoken Japanese language. Hiragana, along with Katakana and Kanji, form the three scripts used in modern Japanese typography. U+3092 is part of the Hiragana block (U+3040-309F), which encompasses characters specific to the Japanese writing system. As a linguistic component, it plays an essential role in accurately conveying meaning and tone in digital texts. No notable cultural, linguistic, or technical context is attached to U+3092 beyond its function as a character within the Hiragana script.
