Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ざ has the Unicode code point U+3056. 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+3056 to binary:
00110000 01010110. 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 10010110

Description
The Unicode character U+3056 is the HIRAGANA LETTER ZA. It is a part of the Japanese writing system, Hiragana, which is used primarily in digital text for written communication. Hiragana consists of 46 basic characters, including vowels and consonants, that can be combined to form syllables. The HIRAGANA LETTER ZA specifically represents a specific sound in the Japanese language. In the context of linguistics, it plays an essential role in representing the sounds of spoken Japanese, which are phonetically different from those in English and other languages. As for cultural significance, Hiragana is deeply embedded in Japanese culture as a means of written expression. The HIRAGANA LETTER ZA, like all characters in Hiragana, follows a specific ordering system based on strokes or movements of the writing implement. From a technical standpoint, U+3056 is part of the Unicode Standard, which provides a unique code for every character used across various digital platforms and applications. By using the HIRAGANA LETTER ZA in text, it ensures accurate representation and display across different devices and systems, promoting effective communication.
