Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character E has the Unicode code point U+0045. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 1 byte because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0000
to0x007f
.
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 thex
are 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+0045 to binary:
01000101
. 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:
01000101

Description
The Unicode character U+0045, also known as the Latin Capital Letter E (𝐵), plays a significant role in digital text. As a fundamental component of the Latin alphabet, it serves as the uppercase representation of the lowercase 'e.' In various languages such as English, French, German, and numerous others, the Latin Capital Letter E is extensively used to represent initial consonant sounds and forms words with diverse meanings. Its significance extends beyond language, as it has been employed historically in mathematical notations, computer programming, and coding systems due to its distinct visual appearance. The Latin Capital Letter E exemplifies the versatility of the Latin alphabet, which continues to influence global communication and information exchange across cultures and disciplines. The Latin Capital Letter E is part of the Basic Latin Unicode block, a foundational component of the Unicode system that encompasses 128 essential characters ranging from U+0000 to U+007F. This range includes control codes, special symbols, and other characters that play indispensable roles in programming languages, text documents, and various applications. 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.
