Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Á has the Unicode code point U+00C1. 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+00C1 to binary:
11000001. 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+00C1, known as "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH ACUTE" (Á), is a significant element in digital text, particularly within various languages like Spanish, Portuguese, French, and Italian dialects. This character is often used to denote an accented 'A' sound, adding nuance and precision to written works. In the context of Unicode, U+00C1 belongs to the Latin-1 Supplement block (128 to 255), a versatile collection of characters that serve various typographical purposes. The Latin-1 Supplement block extends the basic Latin character set, encompassing symbols like pilcrows and en dashes, which are essential for proper formatting and presentation of written content. The presence of U+00C1 in digital text reflects the growing globalization and demand for linguistic inclusivity on the internet. It plays an essential role in maintaining cultural authenticity across diverse languages and dialects, thereby enabling effective communication and fostering a more inclusive digital landscape. The character's role underscores the importance of accurate language representation to ensure that written works remain faithful to their original intent and meaning.
