Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ˊ has the Unicode code point U+02CA. 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+02CA to binary:
00000010 11001010. 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 10001010

Description
The Unicode character U+02CA is known as the "MODIFIER LETTER ACUTE ACCENT." It is commonly used in digital text to provide an acute accent to certain letters, particularly in languages such as Spanish and French where it serves as a diacritical mark. The modifier letter acute accent alters the pronunciation of a character when used in combination with other characters. It is also used in linguistic and technical contexts for phonetic transcription. U+02CA is part of the Unicode standard, which aims to provide a unique code for every character, symbol, or emoji in the world's writing systems. This ensures accurate representation and communication across different languages, platforms, and devices.
