Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ツ has the Unicode code point U+30C4. 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+30C4 to binary:
00110000 11000100. 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 10000100

Description
The Unicode character U+30C4 represents the "KATAKANA LETTER TU" (カトゥ) in digital text. It is a part of the Katakana script, which is one of the two syllabaries used in the Japanese writing system alongside Hiragana. Katakana is typically utilized for transcription of foreign words, onomatopoeia, and to denote certain grammatical functions within the language. U+30C4 holds a significant position in its typography as it forms part of the extensive character set that enables expressive communication within the Japanese language. In technical contexts, U+30C4 follows the encoding standards set forth by Unicode Consortium and is an essential component in ensuring accurate rendering of text across different platforms and devices.
