Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character リ has the Unicode code point U+30EA. 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+30EA to binary:
00110000 11101010. 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 10101010

Description
U+30EA, also known as Katakana Letter Ri (カタカナ・レッターリ), is a crucial character within the Unicode Standard, specifically in the JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) X 0213 encoding system. This symbol plays an integral role in digital text, primarily serving to represent the "ri" sound when used in written Japanese language. Katakana Letter Ri is part of the Katakana script, which originates from the classical Japanese writing system and has become one of the three primary scripts utilized in contemporary Japanese typography alongside Hiragana and Kanji. This character's precise and accurate representation contributes significantly to the clarity and intelligibility of digital Japanese text, as each distinct symbol corresponds to a specific sound or group of sounds, enabling readers to accurately decode written language into spoken speech.
