Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character e has the Unicode code point U+0065. 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+0065 to binary:
01100101
. 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:
01100101

Description
The character U+0065, commonly known as the Latin Small Letter E (lowercase 'e'), is a fundamental building block of written communication in digital text. It plays a crucial role in various languages that use the Roman script, including modern English. In digital platforms such as emails, websites, documents, and social media, the lowercase 'e' is widely used to form words and sentences. In linguistic contexts, the Latin Small Letter E contributes significantly to the structure of languages by playing a vital role in forming words. Beyond its usage in written communication, it also finds application in technical contexts such as programming languages where it serves as part of variable names or identifiers within code. From a cultural and historical perspective, this character has deep roots, being part of the ASCII character set. Today, it continues to be an integral part of digital communication, forming the basis for many other Unicode blocks in the Basic Multilingual Plane (U+0000 to U+65535). The Latin Small Letter E's importance extends across cultural, linguistic, and technical aspects of modern society.
