Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character I has the Unicode code point U+0049. 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+0049 to binary:
01001001. 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 character U+0049, commonly known as the Latin Capital Letter I (nameSlug: latin-capital-letter-i-u-0049), plays a pivotal role in digital text worldwide. As one of the primary letters in the English alphabet and various other alphabetic writing systems, it is instrumental in spelling and communication due to its representation of the consonantal sound 'I' or 'AY'. Derived from the ancient Etruscan script (see: Basic Latin Unicode block), the Latin Capital Letter I has been adopted by numerous modern languages as a fundamental component of their orthography. Its presence and placement can significantly impact the meaning or pronunciation of words, making it an essential element in linguistic expression and computer encoding standards like Unicode and ASCII (see: Basic Multilingual Plane). In digital communication, the Latin Capital Letter I is a crucial character that can transform the essence of written content. By understanding its significance and proper usage, individuals can enhance their text-based interactions across various platforms and devices.
