Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ̣ has the Unicode code point U+0323. 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+0323 to binary:
00000011 00100011. 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 10100011

Description
The Unicode character U+0323, known as COMBINING DOT BELOW, is a typographic symbol used primarily in digital text to indicate a dot placed below another character. It is commonly employed in text formatting to create diacritical marks or accents, such as the n-tilde (ñ) in Spanish and other Romance languages, or the l-stroke (ł) in Polish. This character allows for greater typographic accuracy by enabling users to create specific characters not available through standard ASCII or Latin-1 character sets. In addition to its usage in language and script adaptation, COMBINING DOT BELOW also serves an important role in design, where it is used to add subtle visual effects or modify the appearance of text for aesthetic purposes. By being part of the Unicode Standard, this character enhances digital text accessibility and allows for more precise and diverse communication across various languages and cultures.
