Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ˔ has the Unicode code point U+02D4. 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+02D4 to binary:
00000010 11010100. 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 10010100

Description
The Unicode character U+02D4, known as the Modifier Letter Up Tack (MLUT), plays a vital role in digital typography, specifically within the realm of phonetic transcription. It is used to mark an unaccented vowel in an accented syllable and serves as a diacritic that can be applied to uppercase Latin letters, excluding those used for numbers or punctuation marks. The MLUT enables accurate representation of certain phonetic features present in specific languages, such as the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) and Americanist phonetics. By incorporating this character, linguists and researchers can precisely transcribe spoken sounds, leading to more effective communication and analysis across diverse cultures and languages.
