Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character i has the Unicode code point U+0069. 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+0069 to binary:
01101001. 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 Latin Small Letter I (U+0069), commonly denoted as 'i' or code 105, is a fundamental character within the Basic Latin Unicode block, spanning from U+0000 to U+007F. It plays a significant role in digital text, serving as an essential building block for constructing words and sentences, especially within the ISO 8859-1 (Latin 1) encoding standard. In linguistic terms, this character holds rich cultural history, tracing back to the Roman Empire where it was originally derived from the Etruscan letter C. Within the English language, the lowercase I represents the voiced palatal plosive sound /j/ phonetically. Moreover, it is also employed as a homograph for the numerical value "1". Beyond linguistic contexts, the Latin Small Letter I plays a crucial role in technical domains such as computer programming and data encoding standards, due to its specific position within the ASCII table. In essence, U+0069 is an essential component for effective communication across various platforms and languages.
