Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ョ has the Unicode code point U+30E7. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+30E7 to binary:
00110000 11100111
. 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 10100111
KATAKANA LETTER SMALL YO·U+30E7

Description
U+30E7 is a character from the Unicode standard, which is an international computing industry standard for consistent encoding of characters in digital text. This particular character code, 30E7, corresponds to "KATAKANA LETTER SMALL YO" (・) in the Katakana script. Katakana is a Japanese syllabary used alongside Hiragana and Kanji, forming the three scripts of modern Japanese writing. U+30E7 is one of 48 characters in the katakana extension block, which consists of supplemental symbols used for various purposes such as technical terms, loanwords, onomatopoeia, and so forth. In digital text, U+30E7 serves a crucial role in accurately representing the Katakana character "・" for proper processing by software applications and enabling clear communication in Japanese language contexts.
