Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ͤ has the Unicode code point U+0364. 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+0364 to binary:
00000011 01100100
. 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 10100100

Description
U+0364 is the Unicode code point for the character "COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER E" (ẹ). This character is primarily used in digital text to represent a small 'e' with an acute accent, which combines with preceding letters or symbols. It can be found in several languages and scripts, including Yoruba, an indigenous language spoken by millions of people in Nigeria and other parts of West Africa. The "COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER E" character is often used to create specific sounds or characters that do not have unique Unicode code points. It plays a crucial role in linguistic representation, enabling the accurate transcription of various languages and dialects. As a combining character, it follows typographic conventions and adheres to rules regarding the combination with other characters in digital text environments, ensuring clarity and legibility across different platforms and applications.
