Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ̳ has the Unicode code point U+0333. 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+0333 to binary:
00000011 00110011. 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 10110011

Description
The Unicode character U+0333 represents the COMBINING DOUBLE LOW LINE. This character is primarily used in digital text to combine with other characters to create a visual representation that may not be achievable through standard typography. Specifically, it serves as a combination mark for joining two vertical lines of text, such as in some handwritten or printed styles. Its usage can be observed in certain fonts and character sets where double-line underlining is used to achieve a specific visual effect. While this character might not have any direct cultural, linguistic, or technical significance by itself, it does play an important role in the overall presentation and aesthetic of text, contributing to a more visually appealing layout in certain contexts.
