Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ó has the Unicode code point U+00D3. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080
to0x07ff
.
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 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+00D3 to binary:
11010011
. 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:
11000011 10010011

Description
The Unicode character U+00D3, also known as "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER O WITH ACUTE," plays a significant role in digital text, particularly within Latin-based languages such as Spanish and Portuguese. In these contexts, the acute accent (Ó) signifies a slightly different pronunciation compared to the standard capital 'O' (O). This character is essential for maintaining accuracy and clarity in text transcriptions, ensuring that written content aligns with its intended language and pronunciation rules. The LATIN CAPITAL LETTER O WITH ACUTE belongs to the Latin-1 Supplement Unicode block (128-255), a versatile collection of characters designed to extend the basic Latin character set. This range of characters includes symbols like pilcrows, en dashes, and others that are crucial for proper formatting and presentation of written content. In typography, the LATIN CAPITAL LETTER O WITH ACUTE is indispensable, as it helps maintain consistency in text transcriptions across various linguistic, cultural, and technical contexts. Its usage reflects a commitment to preserving accuracy, clarity, and cultural sensitivity within digital content.
