Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ͚ has the Unicode code point U+035A. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080
to0x07ff
.
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 thex
are 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+035A to binary:
00000011 01011010
. 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 10011010

Description
The Unicode character U+035A, known as the COMBINING DOUBLE RING BELOW, is a typographical element that serves a specific purpose in digital text formatting. It is not a standalone character but rather functions as a diacritic to modify the appearance of another character or letter when combined with it. The COMBINING DOUBLE RING BELOW imparts a unique visual style to the base character, typically by adding a double ring below its body. This Unicode character finds its use in various typographic designs and digital text, where it can enhance the artistic value of the content or provide distinctive stylistic effects. It is often used in custom fonts and design projects that require unique or specific visual treatments for particular letters. While it may not have a direct cultural or linguistic significance, the COMBINING DOUBLE RING BELOW contributes to the diversity and versatility of typography in digital communication.
