Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ̧ has the Unicode code point U+0327. 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+0327 to binary:
00000011 00100111. 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 10100111

Description
The Unicode character U+0327 represents the "COMBINING CEDILLA." This character is used in digital text to modify other letters by adding a cedilla (a diacritical mark) beneath them, altering their pronunciation or meaning. Typically, the cedilla is placed under the letter 'c' to differentiate between "c" and "ç," as in the French word "déjà," where it represents the sound "sj." The COMBINING CEDILLA can also be applied to other letters, such as "ç" in Turkish or "ą" in Polish. It is not a standalone character but serves as a diacritical mark that combines with other characters to create specific glyphs. The Unicode standard ensures the accurate representation and display of these combined characters across various digital platforms and devices, preserving their cultural and linguistic significance.
