Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ͊ has the Unicode code point U+034A. 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+034A to binary:
00000011 01001010. 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 10001010

Description
The Unicode character U+034A is known as the COMBINING NOT TILDE ABOVE. This typographical element primarily serves a role in digital text for accentuation purposes, although it is notably less common compared to other combining characters. Its usage is predominantly found in linguistic contexts where it can be utilized to create unique accents that are not achievable with traditional diacritic marks. It is combined with certain letters to form distinct characters, such as the Ñ (U+00D1) or ƞ (U+1AB9), which are widely used in Spanish and other languages respectively. The COMBINING NOT TILDE ABOVE has a technical function in typography, allowing for more specific control over character accents and their placement relative to the base letter.
