Description

U+30C6 is a character from the Katakana script, which is one of the three Japanese writing systems. In digital text, it represents the phonetic sound "te" and is commonly used in modern Japanese language. The Katakana script primarily serves to transcribe foreign words and names, and it is also utilized for onomatopoeia and to convey specific sounds or actions. U+30C6, along with other Katakana characters, plays a crucial role in the accurate representation of Japanese language in digital communication, allowing for precise pronunciation and comprehension among speakers.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12486 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout

    The character has the Unicode code point U+30C6. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0800 to 0xffff.

    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 the x are the payload bits.

    UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range
    Codepoint RangeBytesBit patternPayload length
    U+0000 - U+007F10xxxxxxx7 bits
    U+0080 - U+07FF2110xxxxx 10xxxxxx11 bits
    U+0800 - U+FFFF31110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx16 bits
    U+10000 - U+10FFFF411110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx21 bits
  2. Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:

    Convert the hexadecimal code point U+30C6 to binary: 00110000 11000110. Those are the payload bits.

  3. 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 10000110
