Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ʳ has the Unicode code point U+02B3. 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+02B3 to binary:
00000010 10110011. 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:
11001010 10110011

Description
The Unicode character U+02B3, known as the Modifier Letter Small R, primarily serves a specific purpose in digital typography. Typically utilized within Unicode text encoding, this character is not frequently seen in everyday digital communication or print media. It falls under the category of modifier letters which are used to create accented characters in various languages. However, its use is relatively limited due to the lack of widespread requirement for accented "r" in most languages. The Modifier Letter Small R holds a technical significance within the Unicode standard but does not carry significant cultural or linguistic context beyond its role as an accent marker for certain alphabets. In essence, U+02B3 is a specialized character used to modify other letters by attaching an accent mark, but it doesn't play a prominent role in digital text usage due to its specific application and limited applicability.
