Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ル has the Unicode code point U+30EB. 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+30EB to binary:
00110000 11101011. 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 10101011

Description
U+30EB is a character in the Unicode standard, representing the Katakana letter "リ" (Rui). This symbol plays a crucial role in digital text, specifically in Japanese typography. The Katakana script is one of three Japanese writing systems, along with Hiragana and Kanji, and it's often used for foreign words, onomatopoeia, or to denote certain grammatical structures. "リ" (Rui) is a specific character within this alphabet, representing the 'rui' sound in the Japanese language. While Katakana isn't as widely recognized globally as its counterparts, it remains essential for accurate and nuanced digital communication in Japan and among Japanese speakers. In terms of technical context, U+30EB is part of a larger Unicode block dedicated to Katakana characters, which span the range from U+30A0 to U+30FF. This standardization allows for seamless interchangeability between different digital platforms and languages, thus promoting global communication and understanding.
