Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ヱ has the Unicode code point U+30F1. 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+30F1 to binary:
00110000 11110001. 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 10110001

Description
U+30F1 is the Unicode code point for "KATAKANA LETTER WE" (カヲ), a character from the Japanese writing system. In digital text, this character is typically used in the Katakana script, which is one of three primary scripts used in the modern Japanese writing system, the others being Hiragana and Kanji. Katakana is primarily used for foreign words, onomatopoeic expressions, proper names, and as a phonetic syllabary. It does not have any grammatical role like Hiragana or Kanji and is purely phonetic. There are no specific cultural, linguistic, or technical contexts associated with the Katakana letter "WE" that stand out from other Katakana characters, as it is used similarly to the rest of the script in digital text representation.
