Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character プ has the Unicode code point U+30D7. 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+30D7 to binary:
00110000 11010111. 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 10010111

Description
The character U+30D7 represents the Katakana letter 'プ' (KATAKANA LETTER PU) in Unicode. This Japanese character plays a crucial role in digital text, specifically within the JIS X 0213:2000 standard for encoding Japanese characters. The Katakana script is one of the two syllabaries used in the modern Japanese writing system, the other being Hiragana. The letter 'プ' (KATAKANA LETTER PU) is primarily used to represent 'pu', a consonant-vowel syllable often found in native Japanese words or borrowed from foreign languages. In certain cases, this character may be utilized for its phonetic value in transcription, pronunciation guides, or transliterations, particularly when rendering the sound 'pu' from other languages into Japanese. Due to its cultural and linguistic significance within the context of the Japanese language, the Katakana letter 'プ' (KATAKANA LETTER PU) serves a vital function in enabling accurate communication and understanding across digital platforms.
