Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ˭ has the Unicode code point U+02ED. 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+02ED to binary:
00000010 11101101. 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 10101101

Description
The Unicode character U+02ED, known as the Modifier Letter UnaspiRated, is a typographical symbol primarily used to represent a specific phonetic modification in digital text. It is typically employed in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) and other similar phonetic transcription systems to denote the unaspirated version of certain consonants. This character holds significance for linguists, phoneticians, and scholars working with languages that have aspirated and unaspirated consonant pairs, as it aids in accurate pronunciation guidance and communication across diverse dialects and languages. While not commonly used in general text, the Modifier Letter UnaspiRated plays an essential role in specific technical and linguistic contexts, ensuring precise representation of spoken sounds within digital texts.
