Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character o has the Unicode code point U+006F. 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+006F to binary:
01101111. 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+006F, also known as the LATIN SMALL LETTER O (nameSlug: latin-small-letter-o-u-006f), plays a pivotal role in digital text, particularly in languages like English, Spanish, French, and German. In these languages, it forms an integral part of numerous words and phrases. As a crucial building block of written communication, U+006F ensures seamless transmission, interpretation, and display across diverse devices and platforms. Its importance extends beyond digital text to encompass linguistic, cultural, and technical contexts. For instance, in typography, it is compatible with a wide range of fonts, styles, and sizes, thereby contributing significantly to accurate expression and understanding in global digital communication. U+006F belongs to the Basic Latin Unicode block (id: 677, name: Basic Latin), which spans from U+0000 to U+007F and includes essential characters for programming languages, text documents, and various other applications. This foundational Unicode block is critical to digital communication across multiple platforms and devices. Despite its roots in the ASCII character set, the Basic Latin Unicode block has evolved over time to accommodate modern needs, underscoring its continued relevance.
