Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ˫ has the Unicode code point U+02EB. 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+02EB to binary:
00000010 11101011. 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 10101011

Description
The Unicode character U+02EB, known as the Modifier Letter Yin Departing Tone Mark, holds a crucial role within the realm of digital text, particularly in the context of the Hanyu Pinyin system. This unique symbol facilitates accurate pronunciation representation for Standard Mandarin Chinese, which is vital for non-native speakers learning or studying the language. In Hanyu Pinyin, this mark specifically indicates a shift in tone from one syllable to another within a single word, thus providing essential phonetic and linguistic information for precise understanding and pronunciation of complex Mandarin Chinese words.
