Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ̞ has the Unicode code point U+031E. 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+031E to binary:
00000011 00011110. 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:
11001100 10011110

Description
The Unicode character U+031E, known as the COMBINING DOWN TACK BELOW, is a specialized diacritical mark primarily used in digital text. This symbol serves to place a downward-pointing stroke below certain letters and symbols, typically to indicate a specific pronunciation or modify the base character's appearance. Although it may not be widely recognized in everyday written language, the COMBINING DOWN TACK BELOW holds significance in linguistic and technical contexts, particularly for users of languages that utilize diacritical marks extensively, such as Czech, Turkish, and certain scripts within the Indic language family. In these instances, it aids in phonetic transcription or provides additional typographic detail to enhance readability and clarity. Overall, the COMBINING DOWN TACK BELOW remains an essential tool for precise digital text representation, ensuring accurate communication across different languages and platforms.
