Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ゲ has the Unicode code point U+30B2. 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+30B2 to binary:
00110000 10110010. 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 10000010 10110010

Description
The Unicode character U+30B2 represents the Katakana letter 'ゲ' (pronounced as "ge"). In digital text, it serves a vital role in the Japanese writing system, specifically within the Katakana script, which is used for foreign loanwords and proper nouns. This particular character holds significance due to its phonetic value, representing the "ge" sound, and plays an essential part in accurate transliteration of words from languages such as English into Japanese. Its use in both digital and printed text helps facilitate communication across linguistic barriers and supports a diverse range of cultural expressions.
