Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ˢ has the Unicode code point U+02E2. 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+02E2 to binary:
00000010 11100010. 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 10100010

Description
The Unicode character U+02E2 is designated as the Modifier Letter Small S. In the realm of digital typography, its primary function lies in acting as a diacritical mark that can be applied to other letters to alter their pronunciation or meaning within certain language contexts. Typically used in phonetic transcription systems and linguistic studies, this character assists in representing sounds that are not directly available through standard letter characters. Although it doesn't have a widespread cultural or linguistic significance due to its specialized use, it plays a pivotal role in fields such as linguistics, phonetics, and language development where precise representation of sound is crucial. Its application ensures accurate transliteration and transcription of various languages, thereby facilitating effective communication and understanding across diverse linguistic landscapes.
