Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0382. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080to0x07ff.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 11 bits within the final 16 bits and that it will have the format:110xxxxx 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+0382 to binary:
00000011 10000010. 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:

Description
The Unicode character U+0382 holds a unique position in the world of typography and digital text. Known as the Combining High Reversed Tilde (Γε), it serves an essential role in the representation of certain linguistic nuances, particularly within the Greek language. Its primary function is to reverse the tilde diacritic when placed above a letter or a glyph. This reversal creates a distinct visual effect that can signify different meanings, pronunciations, or grammatical structures depending on the context. While its usage may be less common in everyday digital text, it holds significant importance in specific linguistic and cultural contexts where it helps to maintain accuracy in written communication. Overall, U+0382 showcases the power of Unicode in preserving the richness and diversity of human language through precise digital representation.
