Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ͩ has the Unicode code point U+0369. 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+0369 to binary:
00000011 01101001
. 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 10101001

Description
The Unicode character U+0369 represents the COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER D (⅄). This character is primarily used in digital text for combining with other letters to create specific glyphs, such as in certain types of diacritical marks or ligatures. It serves a technical role in enabling typographers and designers to create unique visual effects by combining it with other Unicode characters, which can be particularly useful in creating customized typefaces or specialized scripts. While this character may not have significant cultural or linguistic context on its own, it is an important tool for the creative expression of text in digital formats.
