Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ヨ has the Unicode code point U+30E8. 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+30E8 to binary:
00110000 11101000. 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 10101000

Description
U+30E8 is a character from the Katakana script, which is one of three Japanese scripts along with Hiragana and Kanji. Its primary role in digital text is to represent the sound "yo" or "yō," as it is an individual phonetic unit within the Katakana syllabary. The Katakana script is mainly used for proper nouns, onomatopoeia, and sometimes for emphasis. U+30E8 is part of the Unicode character set, which aims to provide a unique code for every character in every known human language. Katakana and its characters have a rich history in Japanese culture and linguistics, serving as an important tool for written communication within the country.
