Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character v has the Unicode code point U+0076. 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+0076 to binary:
01110110. 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 character U+0076, commonly known as the Latin Small Letter V, plays a crucial role in digital text representation, specifically serving as the lowercase form of the letter "v". In digital content, it is frequently used to denote the voiced bilabial fricative sound found in various languages, including English and Spanish. This character originates from the Latin script, which has been widely adopted for writing across numerous languages globally due to its simplicity and versatility. U+0076 can be found in textual content, word processing documents, web pages, and digital communications where accurate representation of lowercase letters is essential. The character belongs to the Basic Latin Unicode block (U+0000 to U+007F), a foundational component of the Unicode system encompassing 128 characters that span from control codes to special symbols. This range includes characters indispensable for programming languages, text documents, and various applications. In cultural and linguistic contexts, the Latin Small Letter V has historical significance as part of the Roman alphabet, with its usage dating back to ancient times. In technical terms, the character is classified under General Category Ll (Letter, Lowercase), Bidi Class L (Left-to-Right), Canonical Combining Class 0, and Mirrored N (Not mirrored). U+0076 has a simple uppercase mapping to U+0056, while it does not have lowercase or titlecase mappings. Its decimal value is 118, and it has no associated digit values or numeric values within the Unicode Standard.
