Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character S has the Unicode code point U+0053. 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+0053 to binary:
01010011. 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 S, represented by the Unicode character ID 88780 (U+0053), is a vital component of digital text encoding in various languages such as English, Spanish, Swedish, and many others. In digital communication platforms like websites, social media, and software applications, it serves as an essential initial letter in words or sentences. The Latin Capital Letter S also plays a significant role in technical fields where it is used to create acronyms and abbreviations, such as "USB" for Universal Serial Bus. Its utility extends beyond linguistic contexts, making it indispensable across multiple platforms and devices. Being part of the Basic Latin Unicode block (starting from U+0000 to U+007F), this character is one of the essential characters that forms the foundation for many other Unicode blocks in the system. Despite its historical roots in ASCII, it continues to adapt and accommodate modern needs, remaining an integral part of digital communication.
