Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ̒ has the Unicode code point U+0312. 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+0312 to binary:
00000011 00010010. 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:

Description
The Unicode character U+0312, known as the COMBINING TURNED COMMA ABOVE, plays a unique role in digital typography. It is used to create a diacritic that turns a comma (U+002C) into a vertical "turned" comma, commonly employed in various languages and scripts. The turned comma above provides visual cues for readers who are accustomed to such characters in their respective writing systems. While its usage is not widespread in most Western languages, it is essential in certain cultural contexts like the Yiddish language, where it helps distinguish between different words or grammatical structures. In linguistic and technical terms, U+0312 is part of a group of Unicode characters known as "Combining Diacritical Marks," which are used to modify the appearance of other characters in text without changing their numeric code points. These diacritics enable greater flexibility and versatility in digital typography, ensuring accurate representation of languages and scripts worldwide.
