Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Í has the Unicode code point U+00CD. 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+00CD to binary:
11001101. 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
U+00CD is a significant Unicode character representing the Latin capital letter "I" with an acute accent (Í). It plays a crucial role in digital text, particularly in various European languages such as Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, and many others. The acute accent distinguishes this specific pronunciation of the letter I from other vowels, ensuring clarity in written communication. In technical terms, U+00CD is part of the ISO/IEC 10646 standard, which forms the basis for modern character encoding schemes like UTF-8 and UTF-16. It belongs to the Latin-1 Supplement Unicode block (128-255), a versatile collection of characters essential for proper formatting and presentation of written content. The acute accent on U+00CD denotes the open-mid unrounded vowel sound, which is crucial in maintaining accurate translation and communication across cultures. Its usage ensures the correct interpretation of words and phrases within these linguistic contexts, thereby facilitating clear communication.
