Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ý has the Unicode code point U+00DD. 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+00DD to binary:
11011101. 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+00DD, designated as the "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Y WITH ACUTE" (code 221), is a significant typographical element in digital text. It primarily serves to represent the Spanish alphabet 'Y' with an added acute accent, providing essential pronunciation cues. The acute accent in this context signals that the vowel sound at the end of the word should be pronounced as 'ee'. This character plays a crucial role in digital typography, particularly within Spanish-language documents and content, where it is indispensable for accurate transcription and clear communication. It also contributes to linguistic transliteration processes, ensuring that text from one language can be accurately represented in another without loss of meaning or distortion of pronunciation rules. The "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Y WITH ACUTE" is a part of the Latin-1 Supplement Unicode block (U+0080 to U+00FF), a collection of 256 characters (128 to 255) that serve various text formatting and typography purposes. This range of characters includes symbols like pilcrows, en dashes, among others, which are essential for proper formatting and presentation of written content. The Latin-1 Supplement block extends the basic Latin character set to accommodate these additional symbols, thereby enhancing the readability and overall appearance of text documents.
