Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ʣ has the Unicode code point U+02A3. 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+02A3 to binary:
00000010 10100011. 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:
11001010 10100011

Description
The Unicode character U+02A3, known as LATIN SMALL LETTER DZ DIGRAPH, is a typographical representation commonly used in digital text for its role in various languages. Specifically, it represents the combination of two letters, "D" and "z", forming the digraph "dz". This character holds significance in languages like Polish and Turkish, where it appears in certain words to denote specific pronunciations or phonetic values. In Turkish, the digraph "dz" is used to represent a voiceless alveolar affricate sound, distinct from both the "d" and "z" individual sounds. The LATIN SMALL LETTER DZ DIGRAPH helps maintain linguistic accuracy and clarity in digital texts, ensuring that the intended pronunciation or phonetics are accurately conveyed to readers. This character is essential for preserving cultural, linguistic, and technical contexts within textual data across different languages and dialects, making it an important aspect of typography and communication.
