Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+2E6A. 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+2E6A to binary:
00101110 01101010. 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 10111001 10101010

Description
The Unicode character U+2E6A (CHARACTER 2E6A) holds a unique position in the world of typography. It is part of the Supplemental Punctuation block, which comprises characters that are not standard punctuation marks but still serve a purpose in digital text. CHARACTER 2E6A specifically represents a double low-9 quotation mark, a form of quotation mark used primarily in European languages such as German and Dutch. Unlike its counterparts, this quotation mark is distinct for its two low vertical strokes, giving it a more visual appeal. This character's primary role is to enclose direct speech or quotations in text, ensuring accurate citation and reducing the likelihood of misinterpretation. Despite not being as widely used as the traditional double quotation marks (U+00AB and U+00BB), CHARACTER 2E6A contributes to linguistic diversity and offers an alternative option for typography enthusiasts or those adhering to specific language guidelines.
