Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ̟ has the Unicode code point U+031F. 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+031F to binary:
00000011 00011111. 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:
11001100 10011111

Description
The Unicode character U+031F is known as the COMBINING PLUS SIGN BELOW, which serves a specific purpose within digital typography and text rendering. This character is part of a larger set of combining diacritical marks that are used to modify other base characters in written languages. The COMBINING PLUS SIGN BELOW is typically employed to place a plus sign (+) below the base character it modifies, creating an effect similar to stacked mathematical notation or an accent over the base character. While this character might not be widely recognized outside of specialized digital typography contexts, its role in providing additional clarity and depth to written communication cannot be overlooked. By utilizing U+031F, designers and authors can create visually distinct symbols that improve readability and understanding within their text, aiding in the effective communication of ideas across different cultures and languages.
