Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ヶ has the Unicode code point U+30F6. 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+30F6 to binary:
00110000 11110110. 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 10110110

Description
U+30F6, also known as "KATAKANA LETTER SMALL KE," is a character in the Unicode standard that plays a crucial role in digital text, specifically within the Japanese script system. It represents a small-sized variant of the Katakana letter "KE" (ケ). Katakana is one of the three scripts used in the modern Japanese writing system, alongside Hiragana and Kanji. U+30F6 holds significant cultural, linguistic, and technical importance due to its application in digital text processing systems for Japanese language content. The use of small-sized characters like U+30F6 in Katakana allows for more precise control over the appearance of text, enabling designers and developers to create visually appealing documents or websites. This level of precision contributes to the overall readability and accessibility of digital texts for users who are familiar with the Japanese language and its script system.
