Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ₲ has the Unicode code point U+20B2. 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+20B2 to binary:
00100000 10110010. 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 10110010

Description
The Unicode character U+20B2, known as the Guarani Sign, serves a specific purpose in digital text encoding. It is primarily used to mark the beginning of a quotation in the Guarani language, which is spoken by the Guarani people predominantly residing in Paraguay and parts of Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay. The Guarani sign is essential in maintaining the linguistic integrity and cultural context within written communication for speakers of this indigenous South American language. Its use in digital text ensures proper formatting and readability while preserving the unique characteristics of the Guarani script. As a result, it plays a crucial role in promoting and preserving the linguistic heritage of the Guarani people and facilitating accurate communication within their communities.
