Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ン has the Unicode code point U+30F3. 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+30F3 to binary:
00110000 11110011
. 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 10110011

Description
The character U+30F3 represents the Katakana letter "ン" (N) in digital text. Katakana is a syllabary used in the Japanese writing system, primarily for representing foreign words or borrowed vocabulary. This script originated from the Chinese logographic script and was adapted into a syllabary to facilitate the phonetic rendering of non-native languages in Japan. The character U+30F3 is utilized in digital communication, particularly in electronic messages, websites, and software applications that support the Japanese language. It holds cultural significance as it reflects the influence of foreign languages on the Japanese lexicon, enriching its linguistic diversity.
