Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ̪ has the Unicode code point U+032A. 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+032A to binary:
00000011 00101010. 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 10101010

Description
The COMBINING BRIDGE BELOW character (U+032A) is a relatively obscure Unicode character that primarily serves as a typographical element in digital text. It is part of the combining diacritic marks category, which are used to modify the appearance or pronunciation of other characters when combined with them. In specific cases, this character can be employed to create visual bridges between particular letters or elements in text. While it doesn't have a widely recognized role in any particular language or script, it can be useful in certain typographic designs where subtle linking between characters is desired. Its usage is generally limited due to its specialized nature and the fact that not all digital platforms or fonts support combining diacritic marks, but for those who require this level of control over their typography, it offers a valuable tool to achieve specific visual effects in text.
