Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ̓ has the Unicode code point U+0343. 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+0343 to binary:
00000011 01000011. 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
U+0343 is the Unicode code point for COMBINING GREEK KORONIS, a rarely used typographic character in digital text. The COMBINING GREEK KORONIS character is primarily employed to represent the ancient Greek letter Kappa (uppercase Κ, lowercase κ) with an additional diacritical mark. This letter was historically used in various ancient Greek dialects and inscriptions, but has largely fallen out of use in modern times. Despite its rarity, it still holds cultural significance for scholars and students of ancient Greek language and history, as well as in specialized fields such as epigraphy and paleography. As an Unicode character, COMBINING GREEK KORONIS can be combined with other characters to create unique combinations and symbols in digital text, contributing to the rich diversity of typographic possibilities available in modern computing systems.
