Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ͬ has the Unicode code point U+036C. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080to0x07ff.
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 thexare 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+036C to binary:
00000011 01101100. 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 10101100

Description
U+036C, also known as COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER R, is a typographical character used primarily in digital text for its specific role in modifying the appearance of other characters. In linguistic contexts, it is typically utilized to adjust the presentation of a base letter by appending a lowercase "r" to it, usually in settings requiring the integration of special diacritical marks or symbols. For instance, this character can be used to represent the 'R' sound in certain dialects and languages when combined with other Latin script letters. In technical contexts, COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER R is often employed to create customized font styles or design elements, contributing to the growing diversity of typographic options available for digital communication. Despite its relatively niche application, this Unicode character plays a significant role in ensuring the accuracy and adaptability of digital text across various cultural, linguistic, and technical settings.
