Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+209E. 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+209E to binary:
00100000 10011110. 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:
11100010 10000010 10011110

Description
The Unicode character U+209E is known as the "SINGLE LOW-9 QUOTATION MARK" (‘ ’). This symbol is often used in digital text to represent an opening single quotation mark, which is useful for setting off direct speech, quotes, or titles within a body of text. It is a variant of the standard ASCII apostrophe and is commonly used in various programming languages and word processing software. In linguistic terms, it plays a significant role in maintaining the consistency and accuracy of citations, dialogues, and quoted passages across different scripts and languages that use Unicode. The character U+209E ensures clear demarcation and interpretation, enhancing the overall readability and understanding of text content.
