Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ̀ has the Unicode code point U+0300. 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+0300 to binary:
00000011 00000000. 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+0300 is known as the COMBINING GRAVE ACCENT. This typographical symbol is a diacritical mark, commonly used in digital text to modify the pronunciation or meaning of letters in various written languages. It is applied above a letter or syllabic character to indicate a nasalized sound or a change in the base sound's quality. The grave accent (´) is particularly significant in languages such as French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian, where it often indicates the past tense of verbs or changes the pronunciation of words. In addition, it serves important roles in other languages like Vietnamese, Swahili, and several African languages. From a technical standpoint, the COMBINING GRAVE ACCENT can be combined with other Unicode characters to create composite characters that represent specific phonemes or letters found within various writing systems. Overall, U+0300 plays a pivotal role in accurately representing and conveying meaning within a vast array of languages and scripts around the world.
