Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ´ has the Unicode code point U+00B4. 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+00B4 to binary:
10110100. 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:
11000010 10110100

Description
The Unicode character U+00B4, also known as the ACUTE ACCENT, is a diacritical mark commonly used in typography to indicate that the preceding vowel should be pronounced with an acute sound. In digital text, it is often applied to letters such as 'á' (LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH ACUTE), 'é' (LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH ACUTE), and 'ï' (LATIN SMALL LETTER IOTIFIED DOTLESS I). This character plays a significant role in various languages, including Spanish, French, Portuguese, and others. The accurate use of the acute accent ensures proper pronunciation and comprehension of words and phrases within these linguistic contexts. Beyond its linguistic importance, the ACUTE ACCENT also contributes to computer encoding systems like UTF-8. This consistency in character representation across devices and platforms is crucial for maintaining clarity and accuracy in digital text. The Unicode character U+00B4 serves as a vital tool for ensuring clear communication and an aesthetically pleasing visual experience when working with texts within the Latin-1 Supplement Unicode block, which includes characters ranging from 128 to 255, serving various text formatting and typography purposes.
