Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character や has the Unicode code point U+3084. 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+3084 to binary:
00110000 10000100
. 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:

Description
U+3084 is a typographic character within the Unicode Standard representing the Hiragana letter "ヤ". As part of the Japanese writing system, it plays a significant role in digital text for encoding the Japanese language accurately. The Hiragana script serves as one of the three scripts used in written Japanese, along with Kanji and Katakana, each having its unique set of characters and functions. U+3084, specifically, belongs to the Hiragana script that is widely used for representing native Japanese words. Hiragana is integral to the Japanese language as it assists in forming words and phrases with Kana (the basic units of phonetic writing) or Kanji (the complex Chinese characters borrowed from Chinese). It also aids in grammatical functions, such as marking particles that indicate the relationship between words. U+3084, being a part of this system, contributes to these essential aspects of the Japanese language. In addition to its linguistic and cultural significance, U+3084 has technical relevance in digital text representation. Unicode Standard, which U+3084 is a part of, ensures accurate encoding and display of text across different platforms, devices, and applications. It allows for seamless communication and understanding of the Japanese language through digital means, contributing to globalization and connectivity. In summary, U+3084 (Hiragana Letter Ya) is an important character in the Unicode Standard, playing a vital role in encoding and representing the Japanese language accurately in digital text. Its inclusion within the Hiragana script allows for proper formation of native Japanese words, grammatical functions, and accurate representation across various platforms and applications.
