Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ͨ has the Unicode code point U+0368. 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+0368 to binary:
00000011 01101000
. 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:
11001101 10101000

Description
U+0368 is the Unicode code point for the character "COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER C" (COMBINING_LATIN_SMALL_LETTER_C). This character plays a role in digital text as part of the Unicode standard, which provides a unique code for every character used in written languages across the world. It is used in conjunction with other characters to create accented or combined letters, particularly in typography and text presentation. In this case, COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER C is used in combination with another letter to form an accented version of that letter. For instance, it can be used in combination with "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E" (U+0045) to create the capital letter "E" with an acute accent, or COMBINING TILDE (U+0301), to produce an inverted breve. The character itself does not have inherent cultural or linguistic significance; its purpose is purely technical and typographical.
