Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ͎ has the Unicode code point U+034E. 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+034E to binary:
00000011 01001110
. 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:
11001101 10001110

Description
The Unicode character U+034E, "COMBINING UPWARDS ARROW BELOW," is a specialized typographical symbol primarily employed in digital text to indicate an upward arrow situated beneath a particular character or glyph. This character serves as a visual aid for readers or users who require additional context or clarification when interpreting complex symbols or mathematical expressions. The COMBINING UPWARDS ARROW BELOW has no specific cultural, linguistic, or technical context, and is primarily used in educational materials, scientific literature, and technical documents. It is not part of any particular language's standard alphabet or character set and does not represent a distinct phonetic or lexical unit. Its application is limited to instances where the upward arrow direction would be beneficial for comprehension or interpretation.
