Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ヹ has the Unicode code point U+30F9. 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+30F9 to binary:
00110000 11111001. 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 10111001

Description
The Unicode character U+30F9, also known as Katakana Letter Ve (ヴ), is a unique symbol used predominantly within the Japanese script system of written communication. It plays a crucial role in digital text, enabling accurate transcription and preservation of original linguistic nuances in texts written in the Katakana alphabet. This particular character is part of the extended Katakana set introduced in 2010 through Unicode version 6.0 to cater for additional sounds that were not initially covered by the standard set. It specifically represents a distinctive Japanese consonant-vowel combination, contributing to the expressive richness and phonetic precision of the language. Consequently, U+30F9 has significant cultural, linguistic, and technical importance in the realm of digital text communication, particularly for those who utilize or study the intricacies of the Japanese language.
