Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character T has the Unicode code point U+0054. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 1 byte because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0000
to0x007f
.
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 thex
are 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+0054 to binary:
01010100
. 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:
01010100

Description
The Unicode character U+0054 (๐ค), named the Latin Capital Letter T, is a fundamental element in digital text representation. Commonly used to denote the consonant 'T' in languages such as English, Spanish, German, and French, among others, this character plays a significant role in written communication worldwide. The Latin script, on which it is based, serves as the foundation for written expression in numerous languages across the globe. In text formatting, the capital letter T (๐ค) is often employed at the beginning of sentences or proper nouns to distinguish uppercase and lowercase letters. Consistently encoded across different platforms due to Unicode standards, U+0054 ensures seamless data exchange between devices and software applications. Originating from the Basic Latin Unicode block (which spans from U+0000 to U+007F), this character is one of 128 essential characters that form the basis for digital communication across multiple platforms and devices. This range includes a variety of characters, such as control codes and special symbols, which are crucial in programming languages, text documents, and other applications. Despite its historical roots in the ASCII character set, the Basic Latin Unicode block has evolved to meet modern needs and remains an integral part of digital communication today.
