Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ̔ has the Unicode code point U+0314. 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+0314 to binary:
00000011 00010100. 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 10010100

Description
U+0314, the COMBINING REVERSED COMMA ABOVE character, plays a significant role in digital typography by enabling the creation of unique and visually appealing accents in certain languages and scripts. This Unicode character is typically employed in combination with other alphabetic characters to generate diacritical marks that alter their appearance or pronunciation. For instance, it can be used above a horizontal line to create a reversed comma-like mark, adding a distinctive touch to specific words or phrases. While the COMBINING REVERSED COMMA ABOVE is not widely used in everyday digital text due to its limited application in global languages, it remains an essential tool for typography enthusiasts and those working with specialized scripts or linguistic groups that utilize such diacritical marks. The character contributes to the rich diversity of human language representation and the ever-evolving field of digital typography.
