Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ͈ has the Unicode code point U+0348. 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+0348 to binary:
00000011 01001000
. 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 10001000

Description
The character U+0348 (COMBINING DOUBLE VERTICAL LINE BELOW) is a specialized typographical element within the Unicode standard. Its primary function lies in digital text, where it is often used to indicate a specific emphasis or visual separation. Although not commonly employed in everyday typing, it serves an important role for those working with languages that utilize diacritical marks, as well as for programmers and web designers looking to create unique typographic effects. Due to its rarity and specialized nature, the COMBINING DOUBLE VERTICAL LINE BELOW does not possess notable cultural, linguistic, or technical context, beyond being a tool available for digital text manipulation.
