Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ′ has the Unicode code point U+2032. 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+2032 to binary:
00100000 00110010. 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 10110010

Description
The Unicode character U+2032, also known as the PRIME symbol, is a typographic glyph that plays an important role in digital text, particularly in mathematical notation and certain programming languages. This character is typically used to represent primality testing, which checks whether a number is prime or not. In mathematical contexts, it may be employed to denote the concept of "prime" in various algebraic structures. Although its usage is relatively specialized, the PRIME symbol holds significance for mathematicians, computer scientists, and linguists who work with languages that use this character. Overall, U+2032 serves as an essential tool for precise digital communication in specific fields of study and programming.
