Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character j has the Unicode code point U+006A. 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+006A to binary:
01101010. 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:
01101010

Description
The Unicode character U+006A, also known as the 'j', is a significant element in digital typography, primarily used to represent various phonemes across diverse languages. This essential Latin small letter contributes to accurate and effective communication by ensuring clarity in written content, particularly in English, French, German, Spanish, and numerous other languages. In digital text, the 'j' character can symbolize a voiced palatal plosive or an unvoiced postalveolar fricative sound, depending on the language and dialect. The use of this character is crucial for maintaining the correctness and legibility of written content across various digital platforms and applications. The Latin small letter J originates from the Basic Latin Unicode block (U+0000 to U+007F), which encompasses 128 essential characters, including control codes, special symbols, and other fundamental components for communication in multiple contexts. This Unicode block serves as a foundation for many other blocks within the Unicode system, reflecting its historical roots in the ASCII character set while adapting to modern digital communication needs. As part of the Basic Multilingual Plane (U+0000 to U+65535), the 'j' character is essential for facilitating seamless cross-platform and cross-device communication, making it indispensable in today's interconnected world.
