Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ú has the Unicode code point U+00DA. 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+00DA to binary:
11011010. 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 character U+00DA, also known as Latin Capital Letter U with Acute (Ú), holds a significant role in digital text due to its distinctive accent mark. In typography, this character is commonly employed to denote an accented uppercase 'U' in various languages, primarily Spanish and Portuguese. Its purpose lies in differentiating words with similar base letters by specifying pronunciation or meaning through diacritical marks. The acute accent (') indicates a higher pitch sound for the letter, often affecting vowel sounds. This character is a part of the Latin-1 Supplement Unicode block, which is a versatile collection of 256 characters (128 to 255) that serve various text formatting and typography purposes. The Latin-1 Supplement block was designed to extend the basic Latin character set in order to accommodate additional symbols essential for proper formatting and presentation of written content. Its characters can be utilized across a wide range of applications, from professional documents to creative writing, ensuring clear communication and an aesthetically pleasing visual experience for readers. In cultural, linguistic, or technical contexts, this character is widely used in digital text for Spanish-speaking populations and Portuguese-speaking populations, particularly Brazil, where the acute accent plays a crucial role in distinguishing words and maintaining proper grammar. This ensures accurate representation of written text across multiple languages and dialects in digital communication.
