Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character 5 has the Unicode code point U+0035. 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+0035 to binary:
00110101. 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+0035, commonly known as DIGIT FIVE, is a vital component of the Arabic numeral system used in various languages worldwide, such as English, French, German, and Spanish. In digital text, this character represents the numerical value of five. The digit five plays a crucial role in expressing quantities, dates, and other numerically-based information across cultures. Beyond its numerical function, the character may also be used metaphorically or symbolically, like in expressions such as "a five-star rating" or "five o'clock." The digit five is part of the Basic Latin Unicode block (U+0000 to U+007F), which forms the foundation for many other Unicode blocks. This essential character set encompasses 128 characters, including control codes and special symbols, that play indispensable roles in programming languages, text documents, and various applications. Although the digit five does not have unique technical considerations compared to other Arabic numerals, its consistency and ubiquity across digital platforms facilitate clear and accurate communication of numerical information across multiple languages. The character's importance lies in enabling seamless, cross-cultural understanding and expression within the realm of numerical data.
