Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ˲ has the Unicode code point U+02F2. 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+02F2 to binary:
00000010 11110010. 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:

Description
U+02F2, also known as the Modifier Letter Low Right Arrowhead, is a specialized character primarily used in typography for digital text. It serves an essential role in creating various diacritics and ligatures, which are crucial components of certain languages and scripts. The Modifier Letter Low Right Arrowhead is particularly important in linguistic contexts where it helps to represent phonetic or morphological structures that may not be directly expressible using the standard Latin alphabet. Due to its specialized nature, this character is predominantly used by typographers, linguists, and other experts who work with non-standard scripts and need to create specific diacritical marks for a wide range of languages and symbols.
