Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ͟ has the Unicode code point U+035F. 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+035F to binary:
00000011 01011111. 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 10011111

Description
U+035F is the Unicode character for COMBINING DOUBLE MACRON BELOW. This typographical character is often used in digital text to indicate a double macron below a letter, which is a diacritic that doubles the length of the base letter it modifies. The combination usually occurs in words from various languages like Latin, Greek, and Slavic, where it serves as an indication of a long vowel sound. Its primary usage is to provide clarity and precision in the representation of specific phonetic or accentual characteristics within text. In technical terms, this character is part of the Combining Diacritical Marks category and is not considered a standalone character, but rather as an add-on to other letters to change their meaning or pronunciation. It doesn't have any cultural or linguistic significance on its own, but it plays an essential role in accurate text representation across various languages that utilize diacritical marks to convey vowel length and specific pronunciations.
