Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character d has the Unicode code point U+0064. 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+0064 to binary:
01100100
. 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:
01100100

Description
The character U+0064, commonly referred to as 'D', is a fundamental part of digital text, serving as one of the 26 basic letters in the Modern English alphabet. Beyond English, it is also employed in various languages that utilize the Latin script, including Spanish, French, German, and Italian. This character's widespread usage across diverse linguistic contexts underscores its significance. In typography, the lowercase 'd' is often distinguished from its uppercase counterpart 'D'. Notable stylistic variations can be found in typefaces such as sans-serif, serif, script, and decorative styles, each with its unique contributions to digital text readability and communication. In the context of Unicode, U+0064 is classified under the Basic Latin Unicode block, a crucial component that forms the basis for many other Unicode blocks. Encompassing characters from U+0000 to U+007F, this range includes essential characters and special symbols that are critical in programming languages, text documents, and various applications. The historical roots of the Basic Latin Unicode block can be traced back to the ASCII character set; however, it has since evolved to accommodate modern needs, remaining an integral part of digital communication across cultures and devices.
