Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ˺ has the Unicode code point U+02FA. 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+02FA to binary:
00000010 11111010. 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 10111010

Description
The Unicode character U+02FA, known as the Modifier Letter End High Tone, plays a crucial role in digital text by serving as a diacritical mark. This character is primarily utilized in various African languages such as Yoruba and Igbo to modify the pitch of vowels at the end of words. It provides an essential tool for representing distinct phonological features, contributing to accurate linguistic communication in these regions. The Modifier Letter End High Tone contributes significantly to the Unicode Standard's goal of accommodating a wide range of languages and scripts, reflecting its cultural and linguistic importance in digital text.
