Description

U+30DD, known as the Katakana Letter Po (ポ), is a character within the Unicode Standard, specifically designed for digital text representation in the Japanese script system of writing. In the Katakana syllabary, it represents a specific sound or phoneme, much like other characters in this set. This particular character has a unique cultural and linguistic significance as part of the intricate system of written communication used predominantly in Japan. Though its usage is limited to specific language contexts, it contributes to the richness and expressiveness of Japanese language expression in digital media platforms, providing an essential tool for accurate text representation.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12509 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout

    The character has the Unicode code point U+30DD. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0800 to 0xffff.

    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 the x are the payload bits.

    UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range
    Codepoint RangeBytesBit patternPayload length
    U+0000 - U+007F10xxxxxxx7 bits
    U+0080 - U+07FF2110xxxxx 10xxxxxx11 bits
    U+0800 - U+FFFF31110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx16 bits
    U+10000 - U+10FFFF411110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx21 bits
  2. Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:

    Convert the hexadecimal code point U+30DD to binary: 00110000 11011101. Those are the payload bits.

  3. 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 10011101
