Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ̯ has the Unicode code point U+032F. 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+032F to binary:
00000011 00101111. 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 10101111

Description
The Unicode character U+032F, known as COMBINING INVERTED BREVE BELOW, is a special diacritical mark used in digital typography to modify the appearance of certain letters or characters. Its primary role is to provide an inverted breve accent below the base character, giving a unique visual distinction. Typically, it is utilized in linguistic contexts where specific orthographic rules require such modifications. The COMBINING INVERTED BREVE BELOW has no cultural significance of its own but serves as a tool for achieving precise typographical representation in digital text. It's often applied to characters in various languages and scripts, ensuring accurate reproduction of the intended symbol or word according to established rules.
