Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ̾ has the Unicode code point U+033E. 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+033E to binary:
00000011 00111110. 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 10111110

Description
The Unicode character U+033E, also known as the COMBINING VERTICAL TILDE, is a typographical symbol used to modify certain characters by adding a tilted line above them. In digital text, this character is often employed in various language scripts and applications to alter the appearance of specific letters or symbols. It primarily serves as an indicator for diacritical marks, which are essential in many languages for denoting unique sounds, stress, or other phonetic distinctions. The COMBINING VERTICAL TILDE is a versatile typographic element, finding its use in numerous linguistic and cultural contexts, and is vital for accurate representation of text in languages that employ vertical diacritics.
