Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ハ has the Unicode code point U+30CF. 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+30CF to binary:
00110000 11001111. 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 10001111

Description
U+30CF, also known as Katakana Letter Ha (ハ), is a character used in the Japanese writing system. Katakana is one of three scripts used in the modern Japanese language, alongside Hiragana and Kanji. This particular script is primarily used for foreign words, onomatopoeia, and proper nouns. The character represents a specific sound in spoken Japanese, equivalent to the English 'h' sound. It plays a vital role in digital text, as it helps convey meaning and pronunciation accurately.
