Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ͮ has the Unicode code point U+036E. 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+036E to binary:
00000011 01101110. 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 10101110

Description
The Unicode character U+036E, known as the COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER V, is a specialized typographical element that serves unique roles in digital text. This character is part of the Combining Diacritical Marks (CDM) category in the Unicode Standard, which consists of characters designed to be combined with other letters or symbols to form accented or modified characters. The COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER V is often used in various scripts, including those of some minority languages and less common regional dialects. In these contexts, it can represent a unique sound or phoneme that does not have a dedicated letter representation. Furthermore, the character may be employed in linguistic studies and text encoding to accurately represent specific phonetic or orthographic features of certain languages. However, it is important to note that its usage is relatively limited due to its specialized nature and the fact that it is often overshadowed by other more frequently used combining marks or letter characters.
