Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ˃ has the Unicode code point U+02C3. 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+02C3 to binary:
00000010 11000011. 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 10000011

Description
The Unicode character U+02C3, also known as the Modifier Letter Right Arrowhead, serves a significant role in digital typography. This character is primarily utilized in phonetic transcription systems, specifically for denoting sounds that require an upward arrow-like symbol above or beside a letter to indicate its pronunciation. In linguistic terms, it is used predominantly in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) and other similar alphabets where precise sound representation is essential. This includes various language studies, dictionaries, and linguistic research. The Modifier Letter Right Arrowhead is an important tool for ensuring accurate pronunciation guides and aiding in the clear understanding of phonetic differences between languages or dialects. Its cultural, linguistic, and technical context lies in its ability to represent subtle variations in sound production that are crucial for effective communication within and across different languages.
