Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ゆ has the Unicode code point U+3086. 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+3086 to binary:
00110000 10000110. 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 10000110

Description
The Unicode character U+3086 represents the Japanese Hiragana letter "ゆ". It is primarily used in digital text as part of the Hiragana script, a syllabary for writing the Japanese language. In this context, "ゆ" serves as both a phonetic symbol and a logographic element in the written expression of words and phrases. The character's cultural significance lies in its role within the larger system of Japanese orthography, which includes three scripts: Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji. While Hiragana is mainly used for native Japanese words, grammatical particles, and function words, it also serves to phonetically represent foreign loanwords or as a learning tool for Kanji characters. The accurate representation of U+3086 in digital text is essential to maintain the integrity of written communication and cultural expression within the Japanese language.
