Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+03A2. 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+03A2 to binary:
00000011 10100010. 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:
11001110 10100010

Description
U+03A2 is a character within the Unicode Standard, an encoding system that represents characters from all languages worldwide. This particular character, known as the Modifier Letter Apostrophe, holds a significant role in digital text, primarily for its use in various writing systems. In linguistic and cultural contexts, it often serves as a phonetic indicator or a diacritic mark to change the pronunciation of a letter. This character is particularly prominent in Greek orthography, where it's used to denote a specific accentuation. The Modifier Letter Apostrophe showcases the flexibility and diversity of Unicode in representing a vast range of characters across different languages and scripts, enhancing the accuracy and comprehensibility of digital text.
