Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ̖ has the Unicode code point U+0316. 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+0316 to binary:
00000011 00010110. 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 10010110

Description
The Unicode character U+0316, known as the COMBINING GRAVE ACCENT BELOW, serves a vital role in digital typography by enabling the modification of letters to assume a grave accent below their primary forms. Typically employed in various languages and writing systems, this character is essential for accurately representing certain phonetic or orthographic features in text. For instance, it is often used in French and Spanish to denote nasalization in vowels or to indicate the past tense of verbs. In linguistic contexts, the COMBINING GRAVE ACCENT BELOW helps preserve the integrity of dialectal pronunciations or regional variations within a language. Furthermore, this character is widely used in technical fields such as transcription and transliteration, where accurate representation of source text is crucial. Overall, U+0316 plays an indispensable part in facilitating communication across linguistic boundaries and preserving cultural identity through digital typography.
