Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ˷ has the Unicode code point U+02F7. 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+02F7 to binary:
00000010 11110111. 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 10110111

Description
The Unicode character U+02F7, known as the Modifier Letter Low Tilde (ˈmɒdɪˌfʌɪ ˈlɒw ˈtaɪldi), serves a specific role in digital text by acting as a diacritical mark. Its primary use is to modify letters with an acute accent or a grave accent, creating new characters that are unique within the Unicode Standard. These modified characters are frequently used in various languages for representing different phonetic sounds or meanings. The Modifier Letter Low Tilde, although not widely utilized across all languages, has notable cultural and linguistic significance in certain contexts where it is employed to create distinct characters that have specific pronunciation or meaning. It is essential for accurate communication and understanding of the intended message when used within its appropriate language context.
