Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ͫ has the Unicode code point U+036B. 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+036B to binary:
00000011 01101011
. 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 10101011

Description
U+036B, the COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER M, is a typographical character that plays a crucial role in digital text formatting. In its typical usage, it combines with preceding characters to modify their appearance or enhance readability. It is often employed in linguistic contexts where accented letters are necessary for accurate representation of the language. Notably, COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER M has been instrumental in addressing typographic issues related to languages such as Turkish and Azerbaijani. The character's technical nature ensures precise positioning relative to the base character and adherence to Unicode standards, ensuring compatibility across various digital platforms.
