Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ̮ has the Unicode code point U+032E. 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+032E to binary:
00000011 00101110. 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 10101110

Description
The Unicode character U+032E, known as the COMBINING BREVE BELOW, serves a specific purpose in digital text. It is primarily used to modify letters in various alphabets, predominantly Latin script, by placing a diacritic mark below them. This character enables typographers and linguists to represent certain phonetic or orthographic features accurately, contributing significantly to the richness and diversity of global written communication. In some languages, the COMBINING BREVE BELOW has specific cultural or linguistic significance, as it may denote a difference in pronunciation or meaning. While its usage is relatively less common compared to other diacritics, it remains an essential tool for those working with lesser-known or endangered languages. As a character that enhances the precision of text representation, U+032E adheres to the overarching goal of Unicode: to standardize and simplify digital text encoding across various languages and scripts worldwide.
