Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ネ has the Unicode code point U+30CD. 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+30CD to binary:
00110000 11001101. 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 10001101

Description
U+30CD is a Unicode character representing the Katakana letter 'ネ'. In the digital world, it serves as an essential building block for creating text in Japanese using the Katakana script, which is primarily used for foreign loanwords, onomatopoeic words, and proper nouns. This character is crucial for accurate representation of text in various digital platforms, such as websites, documents, and software applications. The Katakana script holds a significant place in Japanese typography due to its distinct visual characteristics and versatile usage. Despite being derived from the Hiragana script, Katakana has evolved into a separate script with its unique structure and function within the Japanese language ecosystem. Its usage is not limited to Japan; it can be found in various digital texts related to the Japanese language globally, showcasing the power of Unicode in bridging cultural and linguistic barriers through standardized character encoding.
