Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character , has the Unicode code point U+002C. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 1 byte because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0000to0x007f.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 7 bits within the final 8 bits and that it will have the format:0xxxxxxx
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+002C to binary:
00101100. 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+002C, also known as the COMMA (,), is a vital punctuation mark in digital text. It serves to separate items in a list, clarify numerical values, and indicate pauses or breathing points in speech transcriptions. This character is extensively used in programming languages, where it acts as a separator for elements in data structures like arrays, tuples, and lists. The comma has a rich historical background that traces back to ancient Greek scribes who utilized it for readability purposes. In modern times, it holds significant prominence in European languages due to its versatility in punctuation rules. This character belongs to the Basic Latin Unicode block (U+0000-U+007F), which is a foundational part of the Unicode system. It encompasses 128 essential characters, including control codes and special symbols, crucial for various applications such as programming languages and text documents. In the broader context, U+002C plays a pivotal role in maintaining the accuracy and comprehensibility of digital text across diverse domains like literature, science, programming, and data processing.
