Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ͯ has the Unicode code point U+036F. 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+036F to binary:
00000011 01101111. 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 10101111

Description
U+036F, the COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER X, is a typographical character that plays a crucial role in digital text formatting. This Unicode character is primarily used for combining with other characters to create unique symbols or accents in various languages and scripts. For instance, it can be employed in Greek language to create the letter "ξ" (Xi) when combined with U+0391 (COMBINING GREEK DIAPTYXIS). Its application extends beyond Greek, as it is used for similar purposes in other alphabets and scripts that require additional diacritical marks or accents. In this context, the COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER X demonstrates its cultural, linguistic, and technical significance in enabling greater expressiveness and accuracy in digital typography.
