Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ̌ has the Unicode code point U+030C. 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+030C to binary:
00000011 00001100. 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 10001100

Description
The Unicode character U+030C, known as the COMBINING CARON, is a diacritical mark used primarily in digital text to represent an accent in various languages. Its typical usage is to indicate the palatalization of a consonant when placed above certain letters in words from languages such as Czech, Slovak, and Polish. This character is part of the Combining Diacritical Marks Unicode block, containing characters that are used alongside base characters to create accented letters. In terms of cultural, linguistic, or technical context, the COMBINING CARON plays a significant role in maintaining linguistic accuracy and clarity when representing specific phonetic sounds in these languages. It helps convey the correct pronunciation and meaning of words, making it essential for accurate text representation and translation. The Unicode character U+030C is crucial for maintaining typographical consistency across various platforms and systems, ensuring that digital texts accurately represent their intended meaning.
