Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character じ has the Unicode code point U+3058. 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+3058 to binary:
00110000 01011000. 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 10011000

Description
The Unicode character U+3058 represents the Hiragana letter 'ぢ'. In digital text, this character serves as a building block for constructing words in Japanese, where it typically functions as a kana (syllabary) representing the consonant-vowel structure. Within the context of the Japanese language, U+3058 is crucial in maintaining proper phonetics and pronunciation, as well as conveying meaning. Hiragana is used alongside katakana, another Japanese syllabary, to differentiate between voiced and unvoiced sounds and for transcribing foreign words. The use of U+3058 reflects the importance of script in preserving cultural identity and facilitating communication in Japan.
