Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+07B8. 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+07B8 to binary:
00000111 10111000. 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:
11011110 10111000

Description
The Unicode character U+07B8 is a unique typographical symbol known as the Modifier Letter Small 'e' (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER SMALL E MODIFIER). In digital text, it primarily serves the role of a diacritical mark or modifier that alters the basic character properties of preceding letters. Its typical usage is in various languages and scripts where it adjusts the pronunciation or distinguishes between words with similar meanings but different accents. U+07B8 is particularly essential in linguistic contexts, such as Catalan and Galician, where it helps to disambiguate homonyms and maintain the orthographic rules of these languages. In terms of technical context, the character's Unicode value allows for seamless interaction with different text encodings and platforms, contributing to the globalization and standardization of digital communication.
