Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character t has the Unicode code point U+0074. 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+0074 to binary:
01110100. 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+0074, popularly known as LATIN SMALL LETTER T, serves a pivotal function in digital text by representing the lowercase letter 't' within the Latin alphabet. In the realm of written communication across various platforms and devices, this character adheres to universal encoding standards such as Unicode, facilitating seamless exchange of information. From a linguistic perspective, LATIN SMALL LETTER T holds significance due to its usage in multiple phonemes across various languages that utilize the Roman alphabet, such as English, French, Spanish, German, and Italian. Its pronunciation may vary based on its surrounding letters. In technical contexts, the character 't' is often employed within programming and computer science, serving as a command or function within a codebase (e.g., the 'tab' key in keyboard input). This illustrates its relevance beyond mere linguistic applications. The LATIN SMALL LETTER T is an integral component of modern written communication, bridging cultural and technological divides. It resides within the Basic Latin Unicode block (U+0000 to U+007F), which forms the foundation for many other Unicode blocks essential for digital communication. This character's historical roots can be traced back to the ASCII character set, demonstrating its enduring relevance in today's digitally-centric world.
