Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ˁ has the Unicode code point U+02C1. 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+02C1 to binary:
00000010 11000001. 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 10000001

Description
U+02C1, the Modifier Letter Reversed Glottal Stop, is a unique character in the Unicode system that primarily serves as a diacritical mark to modify certain letters in digital text. This character is used to reverse the direction of the glottal stop sound (denoted by ʔ) within a word or phrase, indicating a specific pronunciation or phonetic distinction. The Modifier Letter Reversed Glottal Stop plays a crucial role in linguistic and technical contexts, especially in languages where the glottal stop is an essential phoneme. Its application is typically seen in transcription work, linguistic studies, and language learning materials to accurately represent the pronunciation of words or phrases that include this sound. By using the U+02C1 character, language experts and learners can convey the precise articulation of the glottal stop more effectively, contributing to clearer communication and a better understanding of diverse languages.
