Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ` has the Unicode code point U+0060. 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+0060 to binary:
01100000. 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+0060, also known as the grave accent (`), is a fundamental diacritical mark commonly used in typography across various languages, particularly French and Spanish. In digital text, it is frequently employed to modify the pronunciation or meaning of letters, such as indicating nasalization in words like "é" (e grave) and "à" (a grave). Beyond linguistic contexts, the grave accent also holds significance in technical domains, where it may serve to escape special characters or denote bitwise NOT operations in programming languages. This character is part of the Basic Latin Unicode block, which encompasses essential characters from U+0000 to U+007F. The basic Latin Unicode block is a crucial foundation of the Unicode system, serving as the base upon which many other Unicode blocks are built. It includes a multitude of common characters that are vital for communication across multiple platforms and devices. The grave accent (`), with its versatile applications in both linguistic and technical contexts, remains an essential component of digital text representation, contributing to accurate translation and interpretation across multiple languages and disciplines.
