Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ブ has the Unicode code point U+30D6. 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+30D6 to binary:
00110000 11010110. 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 10010110

Description
The Unicode character U+30D6, known as Katakana Letter BU (ぶ), is a crucial component of the Japanese writing system. In digital text, it primarily serves to represent the voiced stop consonant sound "b" at the end of words, providing phonetic clarity in written language. Its usage is essential in both modern and traditional texts, enabling accurate communication across various contexts. Katakana script is often employed for foreign loanwords or onomatopoeic expressions, highlighting its versatility within the Japanese language. U+30D6's significance extends beyond linguistic boundaries, as it contributes to maintaining cultural heritage and fostering global understanding of the richness and complexity of the Japanese writing system.
