Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ͇ has the Unicode code point U+0347. 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+0347 to binary:
00000011 01000111
. 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 10000111

Description
The Unicode character U+0347 is known as the COMBINING EQUALS SIGN BELOW. It plays a crucial role in digital text by allowing for the placement of an equal sign below another character, creating an accent or modifier effect. This character has found particular use in mathematical and scientific texts where it can be employed to indicate a specific relationship between characters or symbols. The COMBINING EQUALS SIGN BELOW is particularly valuable in contexts where precise communication is required, such as engineering documents or technical manuals. Despite its utility, this character does not have any direct cultural, linguistic, or technical significance outside of its specific usage in digital text.
