Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character „ has the Unicode code point U+201E. 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+201E to binary:
00100000 00011110. 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 10000000 10011110

Description
The Unicode character U+201E, also known as the DOUBLE LOW-9 QUOTATION MARK, is a typographical symbol used in digital text to represent an opening double quotation mark. Its primary function is to enclose and set off direct speech or quotes within a larger body of text. This character appears visually similar to the regular low-9 quotation mark (U+2018) but differs in its usage as a pair, with each mark representing an individual quotation level. In some languages and typographical styles, it may be used to differentiate between levels of quotes or to denote particular punctuation nuances. Though not widely utilized across all digital texts, the DOUBLE LOW-9 QUOTATION MARK has its place in specific cultural, linguistic, and technical contexts where precise distinctions in quotation are necessary.
