Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character J has the Unicode code point U+004A. 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+004A to binary:
01001010. 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:
01001010

Description
The Unicode character U+004A, commonly known as 'J' (Latin Capital Letter J), is a vital component of digital text across various platforms, playing a crucial role in communication. This letter primarily represents the "j" sound /dʒ/ in languages such as English, French, German, and Spanish, making it essential for accurate representation and transmission of ideas, information, and culture. The Latin Capital Letter J has its origins traced back to the Late Latin or early Medieval period, evolving from a cursive form of 'I'. In typography, this letter exhibits versatility as it reflects nuances of style, tone, or emphasis when used in various fonts and layouts. In the context of Unicode and typography, U+004A belongs to the Basic Latin Unicode block (U+0000 - U+007F), a foundational range of 128 essential characters that serves as the basis for many other Unicode blocks. This historical roots can be traced back to the ASCII character set, but it has evolved over time to meet modern needs, continuing its integral role in digital communication. In summary, U+004A is a fundamental character in digital text that supports accurate representation and transmission of ideas, information, and culture worldwide, with roots dating back centuries in various linguistic and typographic contexts.
