Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character V has the Unicode code point U+0056. 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+0056 to binary:
01010110. 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+0056, also known as the Latin Capital Letter V (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER V), plays a significant role in digital text and communication. This essential character is one of 128 basic Latin Unicode characters that span from U+0000 to U+007F, encompassing control codes, special symbols, and alphabetical letters like the V. In linguistic contexts, the Latin Capital Letter V primarily represents the voiced bilabial fricative sound /v/ in various languages that utilize the Latin script, such as English. This letter is crucial for shaping vocabulary, grammar, and syntax across numerous languages. From a technical standpoint, U+0056 ensures consistency and accuracy in encoding and displaying the Latin Capital Letter V on digital platforms. It ensures seamless communication across various devices and software applications, contributing to the overall effectiveness of digital communication. This character's significance extends beyond written text, as it is also essential for phonology in spoken communication. The Basic Latin Unicode block, which houses U+0056, serves as a foundation for other Unicode blocks due to its inclusion of numerous common characters required for communication across multiple platforms and devices. Despite its historical roots in the ASCII character set, the Basic Latin Unicode block continues to adapt to modern needs and remains an integral part of digital communication.
