Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ͠ has the Unicode code point U+0360. 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+0360 to binary:
00000011 01100000. 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:

Description
The Unicode character U+0360, known as the COMBINING DOUBLE TILDE, is primarily used for combining with other letters in digital text to create accents or diacritical marks. In its typical usage, it serves to double the tilde (~) symbol, which is often found over certain characters in various languages to indicate a distinct pronunciation or an alternate form of a letter. The COMBINING DOUBLE TILDE is particularly useful in languages such as Spanish and Portuguese, where it is employed to modify vowels and consonants, emphasizing specific phonetic characteristics. This character has no standalone significance; its role lies solely within the context of combining with other Unicode characters, making it a crucial component in digital typography for accurate representation of various scripts.
