Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ォ has the Unicode code point U+30A9. 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+30A9 to binary:
00110000 10101001. 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 10101001

Description
The Unicode character U+30A9 is the code point for the Katakana letter "small o" (ク), which is commonly used in the Japanese writing system. Katakana is one of the three scripts used in modern Japanese typing, along with Hiragana and Kanji. It is often employed for foreign words and onomatopoeia, as well as proper nouns such as names and titles. The use of U+30A9 (KATAKANA LETTER SMALL O) is crucial in digital text to ensure the accurate representation of the Japanese language and its distinct phonetic and grammatical structures.
