Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ベ has the Unicode code point U+30D9. 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+30D9 to binary:
00110000 11011001. 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 10011001

Description
The Unicode character U+30D9 represents the "KATAKANA LETTER BE" (カB, カづ) in digital text. It is part of the Japanese script known as Katakana, which is used alongside Hiragana to write the modern Japanese language. Katakana is primarily employed for borrowed words from other languages or onomatopoeic sounds, and to denote foreign names or technical terms. The use of U+30D9 contributes to accurate digital representation of the spoken Japanese language, enhancing communication across different platforms and devices. Its unique visual characteristics make it an essential character in maintaining linguistic accuracy and cultural authenticity within digital texts.
