Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ̥ has the Unicode code point U+0325. 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+0325 to binary:
00000011 00100101. 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 10100101

Description
The COMBINING RING BELOW (U+0325) is a typographical character commonly used in digital text to add a ring below various letters, numbers, and symbols. Its primary role is to create visually appealing or stylistic effects in typography, such as emphasizing particular characters or enhancing the overall appearance of text. This Unicode character is often employed in graphic design, logo creation, and other visual applications where typographic elements require unique or customized appearances. Although it has no direct linguistic significance, the COMBINING RING BELOW can be utilized across various languages and scripts, making it a versatile tool for designers and typographers seeking to add distinct flair to their work. Its usage may also extend to mathematical notation, where it can be used in conjunction with other Unicode characters to create specific symbolic representations or formulas.
