Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ˎ has the Unicode code point U+02CE. 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+02CE to binary:
00000010 11001110. 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 10001110

Description
U+02CE is a Unicode character, known as the Modifier Letter Low Grave Accent. In digital text, this character serves a specific role in combination with other characters to create unique letterforms or diacritical marks. It is often used to modify letters, changing their pronunciation, tone, or meaning within linguistic contexts. For instance, when combined with the letter 'A', it forms the letter 'à' which is commonly used in French and Italian languages. U+02CE is part of a group of modifier characters that include the Modifier Letter Circumflex Accent (U+02C6), Modifier Letter Acute Accent (U+02C1), and the Modifier Letter High Grave Accent (U+02CB). These characters are essential in digital text for accurately representing specific phonetic or orthographic features of a language, ensuring proper pronunciation and understanding.
