Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ͔ has the Unicode code point U+0354. 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+0354 to binary:
00000011 01010100. 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 10010100

Description
U+0354, also known as COMBINING LEFT ARROWHEAD BELOW, is a typographical character that plays a significant role in digital text formatting. Its primary function is to provide an arrowhead-like symbol below a letter or other character, typically used for artistic and decorative purposes. It does not have any specific cultural, linguistic, or technical context due to its broad application across various scripts and languages. The COMBINING LEFT ARROWHEAD BELOW is often combined with other characters in text editing software, such as Microsoft Word or Adobe InDesign, to enhance the visual appeal of the content. However, its use is relatively limited compared to more widely-used Unicode characters, as it serves a specialized purpose and may not be easily recognizable by all users. Despite this, the COMBINING LEFT ARROWHEAD BELOW remains an important character in typography for those who require its unique appearance in their digital text.
