Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ヮ has the Unicode code point U+30EE. 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+30EE to binary:
00110000 11101110. 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 10101110

Description
U+30EE, known as the Katakana Letter Small Wa (カ・ワ), is a character in the Unicode standard, specifically in the Kana script block. It plays an essential role in digital text, particularly within the Japanese language system, where it represents the sound /wa/. As part of the Katakana script, which consists of 48 characters, U+30EE facilitates the phonetic transcription of words and is often used to transcribe foreign loanwords into Japanese. The Katakana script was developed from the Hiragana script, and both are essential for writing in modern Japanese. The use of U+30EE and other characters from the Kana script helps maintain accuracy and clarity in digital communication, ensuring efficient transmission and understanding of information across various platforms and devices.
