Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character 〪 has the Unicode code point U+302A. 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+302A to binary:
00110000 00101010. 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 10000000 10101010

Description
The Unicode character U+302A, known as the IDEOGRAPHIC LEVEL TONE MARK, plays a significant role in digital text, particularly within the Chinese language. This particular mark assists in the representation of tone in spoken Mandarin and other Chinese dialects, which often rely on tonal variations to convey different meanings. The IDEOGRAPHIC LEVEL TONE MARK is an essential element in the accurate translation and interpretation of written Chinese text, as it helps to indicate the tone for each character or word within a sentence. This specific character holds immense importance in linguistic contexts where tone is crucial for proper comprehension and communication, demonstrating its vital role in digital typography and Unicode's expansive character set.
