Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+20CB. 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+20CB to binary:
00100000 11001011. 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 10000011 10001011

Description
The Unicode character U+20CB is the Right Single Quotation Mark (`’`) also known as the apostrophe. It is commonly used in digital text to indicate direct speech, contractions, and possession. Although similar to its left counterpart, the Left Single Quotation Mark (`‘`), the right single quotation mark has a distinct shape with a slight tail at the base of the stroke. This difference allows for better differentiation between the two in typography and digital text. The Right Single Quotation Mark holds significance in linguistic contexts where it is used to denote various grammatical constructions, such as direct speech, indirect speech, or the formation of compound words. In technical terms, U+20CB is part of the Unicode character encoding standard that aims to accommodate a broad range of text from different languages and scripts, ensuring accurate representation in digital media.
