Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character m has the Unicode code point U+006D. 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+006D to binary:
01101101. 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 Unicode character U+006D, also known as the LATIN SMALL LETTER M (code 109, nameSlug: latin-small-letter-m-u-006d), plays a pivotal role in digital text across various languages that employ the Latin script. As part of the Basic Latin Unicode block, this character (represented as "m") is used extensively in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, and many other languages. In addition to its written language function, U+006D has cultural significance across diverse fields. For instance, it represents morphine in medical contexts, measures in music (measure) and measurement (millimeter), and is utilized in technical domains such as programming languages and mathematical expressions. Being part of the Latin-1 Supplement block in Unicode, U+006D helps establish a consistent encoding system across multiple platforms, enabling seamless communication and data exchange between different devices and software applications. Its importance in digital communication and information exchange is underscored by its versatility.
