Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character r has the Unicode code point U+0072. 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+0072 to binary:
01110010. 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+0072, known as the 'LATIN SMALL LETTER R', is a fundamental component of digital text across numerous languages that employ the Roman alphabet, including English, Spanish, German, and many more. This lowercase letter plays an essential role in shaping readability and aesthetics in written content. In linguistic contexts, 'r' is a consonant producing either a voiced trill or fricative sound when articulated, with its pronunciation varying between languages. For instance, in Spanish, it represents a trilled "R" sound, while in English, it can be realized as either a trill or a flapped 'r' sound. The uppercase version of this character is U+0052 (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER R). In typography and digital design, proper spacing and kerning between the lowercase 'r' and adjacent characters are crucial for optimal legibility. The character U+0072 lies within the Basic Latin Unicode block, a crucial foundation of the Unicode system encompassing 128 essential characters from U+0000 to U+007F. This range includes control codes and special symbols vital for programming languages, text documents, and various other applications. Despite its historical roots in the ASCII character set, the Basic Latin Unicode block has evolved to accommodate modern needs and continues to be an integral part of digital communication.
