Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ユ has the Unicode code point U+30E6. 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+30E6 to binary:
00110000 11100110. 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 10100110

Description
The character U+30E6 represents the Katakana letter "Yū" (ゆう), which is a significant element in the Japanese writing system. In digital text, it is commonly used to denote the sound /ju/ or /jɯ/. The Katakana script, of which Yū is a part, is one of three scripts employed in modern Japanese typography. It is primarily utilized for foreign loanwords and proper nouns, although it can also be applied to certain onomatopoeic expressions. Historically, the Katakana script originated during the Heian period (794-1185 AD) as a shorthand method of writing and evolved into its current form by the Edo period (1603-1868). In terms of cultural significance, Yū reflects the influence of foreign languages on Japanese, as it is derived from the Latin alphabet "Y". Technically, each Katakana character can be combined with a diacritic mark called dakuten (゛) or handakuten (゜) to indicate a change in pronunciation. Overall, U+30E6 exemplifies the dynamic nature of written communication and the adaptation of scripts across cultures and languages.
