Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character » has the Unicode code point U+00BB. 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+00BB to binary:
10111011. 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:
11000010 10111011

Description
The Unicode character U+00BB, more commonly known as the RIGHT-POINTING DOUBLE ANGLE QUOTATION MARK (»), plays a crucial role in digital text by serving as a typographical symbol for indicating direct speech or quotes. This double quotation mark is part of the set of four double quotation marks, including its counterparts U+00BA (LEFT-POINTING DOUBLE ANGLE QUOTATION MARK), U+00BC (SINGLE LOW-9 QUOTATION MARK), and U+00BD (SINGLE HIGH-REVERSED-9 QUOTATION MARK). In terms of cultural, linguistic, or technical context, the double angle quotation mark has been used in various ways throughout history. For instance, it is still prevalent in historical texts or specialized fields where its usage is considered essential. In programming languages such as Python and Perl, this character may be used to indicate a continuation of a single line over multiple lines. This Unicode character belongs to the Latin-1 Supplement block (U+0080 to U+00FF), a collection of 256 characters that serve various text formatting and typography purposes. These characters are essential for proper formatting and presentation of written content across various applications, from professional documents to creative writing. The Latin-1 Supplement block was designed to extend the basic Latin character set, thereby enhancing the readability and overall appearance of text documents.
