Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character フ has the Unicode code point U+30D5. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+30D5 to binary:
00110000 11010101
. 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 10010101
KATAKANA LETTER HU·U+30D5

Description
The Unicode character U+30D5, known as "KATAKANA LETTER HU," plays a significant role in the digital representation of the Japanese language. In the modern era of digital communication, it ensures that text can be accurately transcribed and conveyed across various platforms, devices, and applications. KATAKANA LETTER HU is part of the Katakana script, which is one of two syllabaries used in the Japanese writing system alongside Hiragana. The Katakana script primarily serves to represent foreign words, onomatopoeic expressions, and scientific or technical terminology, enabling efficient and clear communication of these concepts within the Japanese language. As a result, U+30D5 contributes to the accurate representation of diverse subject matter and fosters greater comprehension among speakers and readers of Japanese.
