Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character } has the Unicode code point U+007D. 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+007D to binary:
01111101. 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+007D, known as the RIGHT CURLY BRACKET, is a crucial delimiter in digital text, particularly in programming languages, mathematical expressions, and markup languages. It signifies the end of a code block or group of elements within a syntactically structured language. Its counterpart, the LEFT CURLY BRACKET (U+007C), denotes the beginning of such blocks. In terms of cultural, linguistic, or technical context, the RIGHT CURLY BRACKET has no significance beyond its specific usage in digital text and programming languages. It serves as a functional symbol to ensure clarity and proper syntax in code structures. The character is part of the Basic Latin Unicode block (U+0000 to U+007F), which forms the foundation for many other Unicode blocks due to its essential role in communication across multiple platforms and devices. The RIGHT CURLY BRACKET, along with the rest of the characters in the Basic Latin Unicode block, originated from the ASCII character set but has evolved to meet modern needs, remaining an integral component of digital communication. The character follows a plane known as the Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP), which encompasses the most common characters used in various languages around the world.
