Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ̺ has the Unicode code point U+033A. 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+033A to binary:
00000011 00111010
. 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 10111010

Description
The Unicode character U+033A, known as the COMBINING INVERTED BRIDGE BELOW, is a typographical element that serves a specific purpose in digital text. It combines with other characters to form unique symbols or diacritics, often used in various writing systems and languages for their distinct phonetic or cultural significance. Although it may not be widely recognized in everyday use, the COMBINING INVERTED BRIDGE BELOW is a vital component in certain specialized texts. Its role lies primarily in creating complex characters that require a combination of both visual and linguistic understanding to appreciate its full impact. In this way, U+033A contributes to the richness and diversity of human language expression within digital spaces.
