Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character c has the Unicode code point U+0063. 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+0063 to binary:
01100011. 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+0063, also known as the Latin Small Letter C (lowercase 'c'), is a fundamental component of the Unicode Standard, which comprises characters from virtually every written language in existence. In digital text, this character plays an integral role by representing the lowercase form of the letter 'C' in various languages such as English, French, and Spanish, among others. The Latin script, to which this character belongs, is widely used across many languages worldwide, making it a critical aspect of written communication. The uppercase counterpart for the Latin Small Letter C is U+0043 (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER C). While 'c' might be deemed insignificant in some contexts, its significance lies in the fact that it facilitates accurate and effective communication in various languages. The Latin Small Letter C finds its roots in the Phoenician alphabet, which was subsequently adopted by the Greeks and Romans. Over time, this script evolved into the Latin script we use today, making it a part of global cultural heritage. In technical terms, the Latin Small Letter C is located in the Basic Latin Unicode block (U+0000 to U+007F), which encompasses 128 essential characters that are the foundation upon which many other Unicode blocks are built. In linguistic contexts, the pronunciation of 'c' can vary depending on the language and dialect. For instance, in English, 'c' can represent a hard (k) sound as in 'cat', a soft (s) sound as in 'cent', or even silent, as in the word 'race'. These variations highlight the adaptability of this character across different languages and dialects. In digital environments, the Latin Small Letter C is crucial for data consistency and error-free communication, especially considering its wide usage across multiple languages and applications. Its role in facilitating global communication cannot be overstated, making it an indispensable component of modern written text.
