Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ュ has the Unicode code point U+30E5. 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+30E5 to binary:
00110000 11100101. 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 10100101

Description
U+30E5 is a character in the Unicode standard representing the Katakana letter "小ゥ" (small yu) in the Japanese writing system. It is used in digital text, specifically within the context of Katakana script, to represent the sound /ɯ/. Katakana is one of the three scripts used in modern Japanese writing alongside Hiragana and Kanji. U+30E5 holds significance in the realm of linguistics as it contributes to the unique phonetic structure and expressive capacity of the Japanese language. This character plays an essential role in accurately transcribing spoken Japanese into written form, thereby facilitating clear communication and preserving the nuances of the language's pronunciation. The use of U+30E5 in digital text also serves a technical purpose, enabling consistent encoding and rendering across different platforms, software, and devices.
