Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ˋ has the Unicode code point U+02CB. 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+02CB to binary:
00000010 11001011. 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 10001011

Description
The Unicode character U+02CB, known as the Modifier Letter Grave Accent (◌̌), is a diacritical mark commonly used in typography to modify the pronunciation or to indicate certain grammatical features of words in various languages. In digital text, it is often employed to create ligatures or other combinations with letters that require accented forms for proper representation. The grave accent symbol (◌̌) is a prominent feature in languages such as French, where it alters the pronunciation of vowels or denotes nasalization, and in Vietnamese, where it serves to mark tone changes in specific contexts. The Modifier Letter Grave Accent plays an essential role in maintaining linguistic accuracy and cultural authenticity across diverse scripts and languages within digital communication platforms.
