Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character 6 has the Unicode code point U+0036. 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+0036 to binary:
00110110. 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+0036, commonly known as DIGIT SIX, is a fundamental element in the realm of digital text. As part of the Basic Latin block within the Unicode Standard, it plays a crucial role in maintaining consistency and readability in text encoding systems worldwide. Its primary function is to represent the numerical value six, which can be utilized across various contexts such as counting, data representation, and mathematical calculations. In addition to its technical usage, the character also holds significance in various cultural, linguistic, and mathematical contexts. For instance, it appears frequently in numerology and astrology due to its symbolic associations. In mathematics, it represents a key number with properties such as being a perfect number and having the largest number of divisors compared to any other single-digit number. The importance of U+0036 is further underscored by its broad application in programming languages, databases, and software interfaces, enabling efficient communication between different devices and platforms. As one of the 128 essential characters in the Basic Latin Unicode block, it forms the foundation for many other Unicode blocks and serves as a cornerstone for digital communication across multiple platforms and devices. Despite its historical roots in the ASCII character set, the Basic Latin Unicode block has evolved to accommodate modern needs and continues to be an integral part of digital communication today.
