Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character s has the Unicode code point U+0073. 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+0073 to binary:
01110011. 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+0073 is the LATIN SMALL LETTER S (lowercase "s"), a fundamental character in digital text with wide-ranging applications in both linguistic and technical contexts. It appears frequently in English, particularly in words like 'dog', 'cat', 'city', and 'sun'. In terms of linguistics, the lowercase "s" differentiates singular from plural forms of nouns, and is crucial to various verb conjugations. From a technical standpoint, the character U+0073 is an essential component of the Latin script, which forms the basis for most modern languages, including English. It plays a significant role in encoding information on digital platforms through various character encodings like UTF-8 and ASCII. This ensures accurate representation across multiple devices and systems. The uppercase version, "S", is often used as an abbreviation for concepts such as 'science', 'state', or 'series'. Historically rooted in the ASCII character set, the Unicode character U+0073 has evolved to meet modern needs and continues to be an integral part of digital communication. This character is part of the Basic Latin Unicode block, a foundational component of the Unicode system that encompasses 128 essential characters. These characters span from U+0000 to U+007F, including control codes and special symbols critical for programming languages, text documents, and various other applications across multiple platforms and devices.
