Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ͞ has the Unicode code point U+035E. 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+035E to binary:
00000011 01011110. 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 10011110

Description
The Unicode character U+035E, known as the COMBINING DOUBLE MACRON, is a typographic element commonly used in digital text to lengthen certain vowel sounds in various languages that utilize diacritical marks for phonetic distinctions. This particular symbol serves to double the length of an underlying vowel, modifying its pronunciation or orthographic representation. Notable examples of languages that employ this character include French and several other Romance languages, where it is used in words like "naïve" and "naïveté." The COMBINING DOUBLE MACRON is crucial for maintaining the accurate representation and correct pronunciation of specific words in various linguistic contexts.
