Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character D has the Unicode code point U+0044. 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+0044 to binary:
01000100. 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+0044, also known as the LATIN CAPITAL LETTER D (code: 68), plays a significant role in digital text as it serves as a fundamental building block for words and sentences in many modern languages such as English, Spanish, French, German, and Italian. This character is part of the Basic Latin Unicode block (U+0000-U+007F) which forms the foundation upon which many other Unicode blocks are built. In cultural, linguistic, and technical contexts, 'D' holds considerable importance. Being a key component of the Latin script, it originated from the ancient Romans and has since spread worldwide due to its adaptability and phonetic consistency. Its usage is predominantly associated with the written communication and spoken language in numerous cultures. Phonetically, 'D' represents a voiced alveolar stop and is categorized as a plosive consonant, producing a distinct sound when articulated. In linguistics, it signifies the distinction between voiced and voiceless plosives, playing a crucial role in understanding pronunciation and speech sounds across various languages. Overall, U+0044 represents an essential element of written communication and spoken language in numerous cultures and linguistic contexts. Its historical roots can be traced back to the ASCII character set, but its relevance remains indispensable in modern digital communication.
