Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ヅ has the Unicode code point U+30C5. 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+30C5 to binary:
00110000 11000101. 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 10000101

Description
U+30C5 is a character in the Katakana script, which is used primarily in Japanese writing systems. The character represents the sound "du" and is typically employed to convey this specific phoneme in digital text. In the context of linguistics, Katakana serves as one of three syllabaries within the Japanese writing system, alongside Hiragana and Kanji. U+30C5 holds cultural significance in the realm of Japanese language and typography, reflecting the rich history and evolving modernization of this intricate script. Its technical context lies within the Unicode Standard, a universal encoding system that ensures consistent representation of characters across different platforms, enabling accurate and efficient communication through digital text.
