Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character g has the Unicode code point U+0067. 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+0067 to binary:
01100111
. 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:
01100111

Description
The Unicode character U+0067, commonly known as 'g', is a fundamental building block in the Latin alphabet and digital text representation. In digital communication, this character is typically used to denote the phoneme /ɡ/ in languages that employ the Latin script such as English, German, Spanish, and Italian. As a key component of written form for these languages, U+0067 plays an essential role in effective communication. Tracing its roots back to the ancient Romans, the Latin alphabet has been adapted by various cultures and languages over time. In typography, the appearance of U+0067 can vary depending on the font typeface chosen, each designer adding their distinct touch to the letter's form and style. The Basic Latin Unicode block, where this character resides (U+0000 to U+007F), contains 128 essential characters that play indispensable roles in programming languages, text documents, and various other applications. This range includes a variety of control codes and special symbols. Despite its historical roots in the ASCII character set, the Basic Latin Unicode block has evolved to accommodate modern needs and remains integral to digital communication.
