Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character H has the Unicode code point U+0048. 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+0048 to binary:
01001000. 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 Latin Capital Letter H (U+0048), also recognized as character id: 88769 and code: 72, is a fundamental component of digital text, serving as the uppercase form of the letter 'H' in various languages. In the context of the Basic Latin Unicode block, it represents one of the 26 letters in the basic Latin alphabet, constituting the foundation for written communication across numerous languages worldwide. The origin of the H character can be traced back to Semitic characters that were later adopted into the Greek and Roman alphabets. In modern usage, it represents various phonetic sounds depending on the language, such as the voiceless glottal fricative [h] in English or the aspirated plosive sound in Arabic. The Latin Capital Letter H is visually distinct from its lowercase counterpart (U+0068) and other similar characters like the Greek letter Eta (U+0374). Its accurate representation in digital text is essential for maintaining clarity and readability across various platforms, applications, and devices. The character's role in digital communication cannot be overstated, making it an integral part of the Unicode system.
