Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ヌ has the Unicode code point U+30CC. 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+30CC to binary:
00110000 11001100. 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 10001100

Description
U+30CC, known as Katakana Letter Nu, is a character from the Japanese writing system Katakana. In its typical usage, it is used to represent the consonant sound /n/ in digital text. The Katakana script is often employed for foreign words and names in Japanese typography, as well as for onomatopoeia. While not widely known outside of Japan, the Katakana script has gained some recognition due to its usage in anime, manga, and video games. Despite this limited scope, U+30CC serves a crucial role in the accurate representation of text and pronunciation within the context of the Japanese language and its unique script system.
