Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ̗ has the Unicode code point U+0317. 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+0317 to binary:
00000011 00010111. 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:
11001100 10010111

Description
The Unicode character U+0317, known as the COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT BELOW, primarily serves a specialized role in digital text. It is used to add an acute accent below certain characters, such as lowercase 't' or 'y', creating visual variations for specific typographic purposes. This character is less common than its counterpart, COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT (U+0301), which places the accent above a letter rather than below it. There are no significant cultural, linguistic, or technical contexts that directly involve the COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT BELOW; however, it remains an important tool for typographers and designers who wish to create unique visual effects in their digital text. The versatility of Unicode ensures that this character, along with other typographic elements, contributes to the ever-expanding variety of digital communication and expression.
