Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character í has the Unicode code point U+00ED. 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+00ED to binary:
11101101. 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+00ED, known as "LATIN SMALL LETTER I WITH ACUTE", plays a crucial role in digital text, particularly in the Latin script. In linguistic contexts such as Spanish, Portuguese, and other Romance languages, it represents the letter 'í', which signifies a short "ee" sound. This differentiates it from the standard 'i', denoting a short "ah" sound. The acute accent (‘) above the letter modifies its pronunciation and can change the meaning of the word in which it is used, making it an essential typographical element in these languages. This character, belonging to the Latin-1 Supplement Unicode block (U+00A0 to U+00FF), serves a variety of text formatting and typography purposes, enhancing the readability and overall appearance of digital content. Its precise usage and application in different languages underscore the versatility and accuracy of the Unicode system, reinforcing its vital role in global digital communication. The Latin-1 Supplement block, comprising characters ranging from 128 to 255, contains symbols like pilcrows (◊) and en dashes (–), which are indispensable for proper formatting and presentation of written content. The basic multilingual plane, containing most common characters, houses this character set among others.
