Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character キ has the Unicode code point U+30AD. 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+30AD to binary:
00110000 10101101. 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 10101101

Description
The Unicode character U+30AD, known as the Katakana Letter Ki (カキ), is a significant component of the Japanese writing system. It serves an essential role in digital text, particularly within the Katakana script, which is commonly used for foreign loanwords, onomatopoeia, and certain proper names in Japanese language contexts. The Katakana script is one of three primary scripts used in the Japanese writing system, alongside Hiragana and Kanji. U+30AD contributes to the precise representation and communication of ideas, terms, and names within digital text, enhancing the accuracy and effectiveness of information exchange across various platforms and devices.
