Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ̐ has the Unicode code point U+0310. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080
to0x07ff
.
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 thex
are 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+0310 to binary:
00000011 00010000
. 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 10010000

Description
The Unicode character U+0310, known as the COMBINING CANDRABINDU, is a typographical element often employed in digital text. It serves to indicate nasalization in various scripts, particularly in South Asian languages like Bengali and Assamese. This diacritical mark can be combined with other characters to alter their pronunciation, emphasizing the nasal sound produced during speech. In its cultural context, it plays a significant role in maintaining linguistic accuracy and facilitating proper communication. The COMBINING CANDRABINDU is a vital technical feature for text processing systems and applications that support languages requiring this specific diacritic. Overall, U+0310 contributes to the accurate representation of speech sounds in written form across different languages and scripts.
