Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ッ has the Unicode code point U+30C3. 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+30C3 to binary:
00110000 11000011. 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 10000011

Description
U+30C3 is a character in the Unicode Standard, representing the Katakana Letter Small TU (「カタカナ小文字トゥ」). It plays a significant role in digital text, particularly within the Japanese language, where it is utilized as part of the Katakana script. The Katakana script, along with Hiragana and Kanji, forms the core of the Japanese writing system. U+30C3, or トゥ, is a small letter variant of the larger Katakana character ツ. In digital text, it is typically used to represent the sound "tu" at the beginning of syllables in modern spoken Japanese. Although primarily associated with the Japanese language, the Katakana script has also been adopted by other languages and cultures for specific purposes, such as transcribing borrowed words or creating new vocabulary. As a result, U+30C3 can be found in various digital texts beyond its original linguistic context, demonstrating the versatility of Unicode characters in representing diverse scripts and languages.
