OK, you're encoding U+30C0 (KATAKANA LETTER DA)
> Mac: 30 BF 30 99 (big endian)
This becomes KATAKANA LETTER TA + COMBINING KATAKANA-HIRAGANA VOICED SOUND
MARK.
In other words, the conversion is splitting the original character into two
decomposed (is that the right term?) pieces.
Apologies if any of the terminology in the above's wrong, but it might give
