Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ˝ has the Unicode code point U+02DD. 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+02DD to binary:
00000010 11011101. 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:
11001011 10011101

Description
The Unicode character U+02DD, known as the DOUBLE ACUTE ACCENT, is a diacritical mark used in typography to indicate a distinct pronunciation or change in stress of a vowel sound. It is typically utilized in various languages to modify specific vowels and create unique phonetic distinctions. The double acute accent is primarily found in the Maltese language, where it serves to differentiate the pronunciation of certain vowels, contributing to the rich linguistic diversity of the region. In digital text, this character plays an essential role in preserving and representing the accurate pronunciation and stress patterns of words, ensuring effective communication across different languages and dialects. Its significance lies not only in its typographical function but also in its contribution to cultural expression and linguistic identity.
