Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ù has the Unicode code point U+00D9. 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+00D9 to binary:
11011001. 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+00D9, commonly known as LATIN CAPITAL LETTER U WITH GRAVE (U+217), is a crucial component of digital text representation in various languages, particularly those with vowel-accented systems such as French and Spanish. This character denotes the open-mid back rounded vowel sound 'u' with a grave accent. In typographic applications, U+00D9 serves to maintain linguistic accuracy and cultural fidelity in translated documents and online content by preserving the intended pronunciation and meaning of words. Its inclusion helps ensure that texts accurately reflect their original form across different platforms and devices. The character is part of the Latin-1 Supplement Unicode block (U+0080 to U+00FF), which provides a range of symbols essential for proper text formatting and typography purposes. From a technical perspective, U+00D9's generalCategory is Lu (Letter), bidiClass is L (Left-to-Right), and canonicalCombiningClass is 0. Its decompositionTypeAndMapping is 0055 0300, indicating that it can be decomposed into two separate characters: U+0055 (LATIN SMALL LETTER U) and U+0300 (COMBINING GRAVE ACCENT). In summary, the Unicode character U+00D9 plays a vital role in digital text representation by preserving pronunciation and meaning across languages with vowel-accented systems. Its use enhances the accuracy and cultural fidelity of translated documents and online content, ensuring that texts maintain their intended meanings across different platforms and devices.
