Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ギ has the Unicode code point U+30AE. 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+30AE to binary:
00110000 10101110. 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 10101110

Description
The Unicode character U+30AE represents the Katakana letter 'GI' (ガ), which is a vital component of the Japanese writing system. In digital text, it serves as a unique identifier for the 'GI' sound in words or sentences written in the Katakana script, enabling accurate translation and communication between users of different languages. The Katakana script is primarily used for foreign loanwords, proper nouns, and onomatopoeic expressions in Japanese text, showcasing its versatility and cultural significance. As a result, U+30AE plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and accessibility of digital texts written in the Japanese language or those containing Japanese elements.
