Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ヰ has the Unicode code point U+30F0. 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+30F0 to binary:
00110000 11110000. 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 10110000

Description
U+30F0 Katakana Letter Wi (ワ) is a symbol from the Katakana script, which is one of the three main scripts used in the Japanese writing system. In digital text, it serves as an individual character representing the consonant-vowel sound "Wa" or "We." While not commonly used outside of Japan, Katakana Letter Wi holds significant cultural and linguistic importance within the Japanese language, facilitating accurate communication and expression in a wide range of contexts. The Katakana script is particularly popular for foreign loanwords and onomatopoeic expressions due to its phonetic nature, making U+30F0 an essential character for representing various words and concepts in modern Japanese.
