Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ず has the Unicode code point U+305A. 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+305A to binary:
00110000 01011010. 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 10011010

Description
U+305A Hiragana Letter Zu is a character in the Unicode standard that represents the Japanese syllabary used in the modern Japanese writing system. It is commonly utilized in digital text, particularly within electronic communications, websites, and software applications that support the Japanese language. As part of the Hiragana script, U+305A contributes to the fluidity and expressiveness of written Japanese by representing vowel sounds, helping to create syllables and words. In a broader cultural context, Hiragana is vital for teaching and learning the Japanese language, particularly for beginners, due to its phonetic structure, which makes it easier to pronounce than Kanji, another complex script used in Japan. Overall, U+305A Hiragana Letter Zu plays a significant role in maintaining and advancing the Japanese language's digital presence and accessibility.
