Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ̙ has the Unicode code point U+0319. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080
to0x07ff
.
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 thex
are 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+0319 to binary:
00000011 00011001
. 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 10011001

Description
The Unicode character U+0319, known as the COMBINING RIGHT TACK BELOW, is a typographical element primarily used in digital text to indicate the presence of a right tack below specific characters or symbols. Its application is typically seen in Greek texts where it serves to mark the position of an unjoined letter within a word. This usage helps to maintain consistency and clarity when dealing with ligatures or other combined character forms. Additionally, it can be employed as a decorative element in typography to add a unique visual touch to certain designs. Though this character may not play a significant role in every linguistic or cultural context, its presence in the Unicode standard demonstrates the extensive versatility and customization options available for digital text formatting.
