Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ̴ has the Unicode code point U+0334. 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+0334 to binary:
00000011 00110100. 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 10110100

Description
The Unicode character U+0334, known as the COMBINING TILDE OVERLAY, primarily serves a typographical role in digital text. It is often used to create diacritical marks or other symbols above base characters. This character can be combined with various base characters to create unique, culturally-specific glyphs that may not be achievable through standard keyboard input methods. For instance, it is frequently used in conjunction with the Latin script for modifying existing letters to signify different sounds or accent marks. While its usage might appear subtle, it plays a crucial role in accurate transcription and communication in languages where such diacritical marks are significant.
