Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character バ has the Unicode code point U+30D0. 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+30D0 to binary:
00110000 11010000. 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 10000011 10010000

Description
The Unicode character U+30D0, also known as "KATAKANA LETTER BA," plays a significant role within the digital text realm. As one of the 95 characters in the modern Japanese Katakana script, it is primarily used for phonetic representation and transcription purposes. Katakana has its roots in the 15th century as part of the Kanbun-kana system, which sought to transcribe Chinese words. While U+30D0 may seem obscure to non-Japanese speakers, it holds great importance within its linguistic context. Notably, Katakana is often employed for borrowed foreign words or onomatopoeia in the Japanese language, showcasing the rich and dynamic nature of the script. In terms of technical context, U+30D0 follows the same encoding standard as other Katakana characters, utilizing a single byte in UTF-8 encoding, making it efficiently incorporated into digital texts.
