Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character チ has the Unicode code point U+30C1. 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+30C1 to binary:
00110000 11000001. 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 10000001

Description
The Unicode character U+30C1 represents the Katakana letter 'テ' (KATAKANA LETTER TI). In digital text, it is commonly used in the Japanese writing system to express the sound "ti" or "tii." As part of the Katakana script, which is one of the two syllabaries used in the Japanese language, U+30C1 is essential for transcribing Japanese words that begin with the "ti" sound. Although primarily used in digital text and not in printed materials, it plays a crucial role in modern communication in Japan. The character's use reflects the cultural and linguistic nuances of the Japanese language, where Katakana is often employed to represent foreign words or onomatopoeic sounds that do not have direct equivalents in the traditional Hiragana script. As a technical aspect, U+30C1 follows the Unicode Standard for proper representation and handling across different devices and platforms, ensuring accurate communication across various digital mediums.
