Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ́ has the Unicode code point U+0301. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080to0x07ff.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 11 bits within the final 16 bits and that it will have the format:110xxxxx 10xxxxxx
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+0301 to binary:
00000011 00000001. 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+0301 is known as the COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT. In the realm of digital text, this character serves a significant role in typography, particularly when it comes to accentuating certain letters within different languages. Its primary function is to indicate an acute accent on specific characters, most commonly seen on vowels like 'e' or 'a'. This accent alters the pronunciation of the letter and can change its meaning entirely in various languages, such as Spanish, French, Irish, Polish, and many others. The COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT is an essential tool for ensuring accurate communication in multilingual settings due to the subtleties of accented characters. By combining with other Unicode characters, it can create a wide variety of unique letterforms that adhere to specific linguistic rules and cultural norms. This versatile character, U+0301, is integral to the accurate representation and comprehension of text across numerous languages and dialects worldwide.
