Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character F has the Unicode code point U+0046. 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+0046 to binary:
01000110. 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+0046, represented as 'F', is a significant element of digital text, particularly in the English language and various other languages that utilize the Latin alphabet. Typically used as the starting point for words, proper nouns, and acronyms, the capital letter F serves as a fundamental building block of written communication in these linguistic contexts. From a cultural perspective, 'F' plays a crucial role in spelling, pronunciation, and overall understanding of language within various literary works, official documents, and everyday conversations. In technical terms, this character is encoded with the Unicode value 0046, ensuring consistent representation across different computing systems and platforms. The capital letter F resides in the Basic Latin Unicode block (U+0000 to U+007F), a foundational component of the Unicode system that encompasses essential characters for programming languages, text documents, and various other 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.
