Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ü has the Unicode code point U+00DC. 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+00DC to binary:
11011100. 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+00DC, also known as 'Ü' (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER U WITH DIAERESIS), holds a significant role in digital text, particularly within German-speaking communities and other languages that utilize the umlaut for specific vowel sounds. This character is commonly used to represent the distinct pronunciation of 'U' (represented by U+0055) when modified by the diaeresis. In linguistic and cultural contexts, the use of this character helps differentiate between homophones, ensuring accurate communication and preserving language integrity. Its application in digital text is crucial, as it maintains the authenticity and clarity of written content across various languages and dialects. The LATIN CAPITAL LETTER U WITH DIAERESIS (U+00DC) can be found within the Latin-1 Supplement Unicode block (from codepoint 128 to 255). This block, which includes essential text formatting and typography symbols, plays a vital role in enhancing readability and overall appearance of digital text documents. Its characters are utilized across diverse applications, including professional documents and creative writing, ensuring clear communication and an aesthetically pleasing visual experience for readers.
