Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ) has the Unicode code point U+0029. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 1 byte because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0000
to0x007f
.
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 thex
are 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+0029 to binary:
00101001
. 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:
00101001

Description
The Unicode character U+0029, known as the Right Parenthesis (Right Parenthesis - Slug: right-parenthesis-u-0029), is a fundamental symbol in digital text, serving to denote the end of a parenthetical expression or a section of code. Originating from mathematical notation and adapted for programming languages, this character plays an essential role in coding syntax for proper expression evaluation and clarity. The Right Parenthesis, represented as ')' (Code: 41), is crucial for programming languages worldwide due to its precise usage, contributing significantly to the readability and functionality of code while ensuring smooth communication between human readers and computers. It forms part of the Basic Latin Unicode block (ID: 677, Name: Basic Latin, Range: U+0000 - U+007F), which is a core component of the Unicode system and serves as the foundation for many other Unicode blocks. Despite its historical roots in the ASCII character set, the evolution of the Basic Latin Unicode block has ensured its continued relevance in modern digital communication across various platforms and devices.
