Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character õ has the Unicode code point U+00F5. 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+00F5 to binary:
11110101. 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+00F5, also known as "LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH TILDE," plays a significant role in digital text, particularly in languages such as Spanish, Portuguese, and other Romance languages. This letter represents the sound "o" with a tilde (~) above it, which denotes a slightly nasalized pronunciation of the vowel. Its usage ensures accurate representation of words in these languages within digital environments. In addition to its usage in written text, U+00F5 also has technical applications in areas such as coding and data storage, where it may serve as an identifier or a specific symbol within certain programming languages. This character is crucial for maintaining the fidelity of cultural and linguistic content online and in software applications that utilize these languages. U+00F5 belongs to the Latin-1 Supplement Unicode block (range: 128-255), which includes characters essential for proper formatting and presentation of written content. The Latin-1 Supplement block was designed to extend the basic Latin character set, providing a versatile collection of 256 characters to accommodate additional symbols, thereby enhancing the readability and overall appearance of text documents. This character range can be utilized across various applications, from professional documents to creative writing, ensuring clear communication and an aesthetically pleasing visual experience for readers.
