Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ó has the Unicode code point U+00F3. 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+00F3 to binary:
11110011. 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:
11000011 10110011

Description
U+00F3, also known as the "LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH ACUTE," plays a significant role in digital text typography. This character is a modified version of the lowercase letter 'o' featuring an accent mark (') placed above the letter. In digital communication, it ensures accurate representation of words from various languages like Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, and Catalan, where it denotes a difference in vowel sound or stress placement. The acute accent is essential in maintaining linguistic integrity across digital platforms, providing precise character handling for translation, search, and rendering purposes. In technical contexts, U+00F3 is crucial in text encoding and processing systems like HTML, XML, and Unicode normalization forms. Notably, U+00F3 belongs to the Latin-1 Supplement Unicode block (128-255), which encompasses characters essential for proper formatting and presentation of written content. This character set was designed to extend the basic Latin character set, thus enhancing text readability and visual appeal. It is worth mentioning that U+00F3's presence in digital texts helps maintain accurate communication across diverse cultures and languages, contributing to a more inclusive and comprehensive digital landscape.
