Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character è has the Unicode code point U+00E8. 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+00E8 to binary:
11101000. 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+00E8, also known as the Latin Small Letter E with Grave (Ǽ), plays a pivotal role in digital text communication, particularly in European languages such as French and Danish. This character denotes an open-e sound, distinct from the standard English 'e' sound. In typography, it is represented by a grave accent (`) placed over the letter 'e', signifying a nasalized vowel sound. Its usage extends beyond these languages, offering a means to represent open-e sounds or specific linguistic nuances in any text. Within digital texts, U+00E8 ensures accurate representation of the intended sound and meaning, fostering clarity and precision in written communication across various cultural contexts. This character belongs to the Latin-1 Supplement Unicode block (U+0080 to U+00FF), a versatile collection of 256 characters designed to extend the basic Latin character set, accommodating additional symbols essential for proper formatting and presentation of written content. The Latin-1 Supplement block was introduced to enhance readability and overall appearance of text documents, catering to both professional and creative applications, while ensuring clear communication and an aesthetically pleasing visual experience for readers.
