Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ̑ has the Unicode code point U+0311. 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+0311 to binary:
00000011 00010001. 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
The character U+0311, also known as COMBINING INVERTED BREVE, is a typographical element primarily used in the digital text domain. It serves as an accent mark that inverts the shape of the breve diacritic, creating a visual distinction from the standard breve (U+02D8). The inverted breve is typically employed to differentiate similar-looking characters or symbols within specific languages or scripts. However, it doesn't have any direct representation in most writing systems and is often used as an auxiliary mark to create custom symbols or special effects in typography. The character might not hold significant cultural, linguistic, or technical importance but plays a crucial role in ensuring clarity and accuracy in text rendering and display.
