Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ˟ has the Unicode code point U+02DF. 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+02DF to binary:
00000010 11011111. 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 10011111

Description
U+02DF, also known as the Modifier Letter Cross Accent, is a Unicode character that holds significance in typography and digital text. This character serves as an accent marker used in conjunction with other letters to modify their meaning or pronunciation. In linguistic terms, it is often employed in phonetic transcriptions to represent specific sounds and articulations in various languages. The Modifier Letter Cross Accent is also utilized in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) for representing certain consonant sounds. This character is an essential tool for linguists, transcribers, and speech therapists who rely on accurate phonetic representations for their work. In a technical context, the Modifier Letter Cross Accent must be paired with another letter to function correctly; when used alone, it appears as a simple cross (⚈) without any effect on the preceding or following characters. The Modifier Letter Cross Accent plays a vital role in the accurate representation of sounds and pronunciations across diverse languages and dialects, highlighting its importance in digital text.
