Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ˌ has the Unicode code point U+02CC. 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+02CC to binary:
00000010 11001100. 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 10001100

Description
The Unicode character U+02CC, also known as the Modifier Letter Low Vertical Line (‾), is a typographical symbol primarily used in digital text for its role in modifying other characters by indicating their position or relationship within a sequence. Although it may not be commonly used in everyday language, it holds significance in specific linguistic and technical contexts. In certain languages, such as the Esperanto language, the Modifier Letter Low Vertical Line is employed to create diacritics that alter the pronunciation of characters or indicate special phonetic features. Additionally, it may be utilized in mathematical notation, music notation, or other fields where precise positioning of elements within a sequence is necessary for clarity and accuracy. The use of U+02CC underscores the importance of Unicode in enabling the representation of diverse languages and symbols across different platforms and applications.
