Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ィ has the Unicode code point U+30A3. 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+30A3 to binary:
00110000 10100011. 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 10000010 10100011

Description
U+30A3 is the Unicode character code for Katakana letter small i (「イ」), which is a symbol used in the Japanese writing system. In digital text, it represents the voiceless palatal fricative /j/ sound. This character is part of the JIS X 0213:2000 standard for Japanese visual representation. Katakana script is commonly used to write foreign words and names in Japanese, as well as technical or scientific terms. U+30A3 plays a crucial role in maintaining accuracy and clarity when translating or transcribing words from other languages into the Japanese language.
