Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Õ has the Unicode code point U+00D5. 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+00D5 to binary:
11010101. 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+00D5, referred to as "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER O WITH TILDE," plays a significant role in digital text, particularly in the context of languages such as Norwegian and Swedish where it is essential for accurate representation and correct pronunciation. In these languages, this character distinguishes between words that sound alike but have different meanings due to the absence or presence of a tilde on the letter "O." It contributes significantly to preserving authenticity and integrity in written expressions, thereby promoting effective communication. This character belongs to the Latin-1 Supplement Unicode block (U+0080 to U+00FF), which encompasses 256 characters (128 to 255) serving various text formatting and typography purposes. The Latin-1 Supplement block extends the basic Latin character set, accommodating additional symbols essential for proper formatting and presentation of written content across multiple applications, including professional documents and creative writing.
