Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ͘ has the Unicode code point U+0358. 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+0358 to binary:
00000011 01011000. 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:
11001101 10011000

Description
The Unicode character U+0358, COMBINING DOT ABOVE RIGHT, is a diacritical mark primarily employed in digital text to denote a dot positioned above and slightly to the right of a letter or symbol. It serves various typographical functions across languages, including accentuation, orthography enhancement, and aesthetic refinement. Its application in cultural, linguistic, and technical contexts varies widely due to Unicode's broad adoption and the character's versatility. For instance, it has been used in Greek, Georgian, Old Italic, and Etruscan scripts to modify letters or symbols for specific pronunciation or orthographic purposes. In digital communication and text-based art, the COMBINING DOT ABOVE RIGHT often contributes to creative typography, emoji design, and graphical representation. Its use depends on the designer's intent, which could range from enhancing readability in written texts to adding expressive elements in digital visual communication.
