Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character 〫 has the Unicode code point U+302B. 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+302B to binary:
00110000 00101011. 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 10101011

Description
U+302B is an essential typographic element in the Unicode character set, specifically known as the IDEOGRAPHIC RISING TONE MARK. This symbol plays a crucial role in digital text, particularly in languages that use tone marks to convey meaning. In Chinese and other tonal languages, for instance, tones can alter the meaning of a word entirely. The IDEOGRAPHIC RISING TONE MARK is placed over a character to indicate a high-level pitch, thus helping readers understand how to pronounce it and interpret its nuanced meaning. Its usage is widely prevalent in East Asian digital texts, reflecting the importance of tone marks within these linguistic systems. Therefore, U+302B is a vital component of Unicode, contributing significantly to the accurate representation and comprehension of tonal languages in digital media.
