Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ú has the Unicode code point U+00FA. 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+00FA to binary:
11111010. 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 character U+00FA, also known as "LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH ACUTE", is a vital component of digital typography. In the realm of text encoding, this Unicode character (code 250) represents the Spanish alphabet letter "ú". This acute accent (´) provides crucial phonetic and orthographic distinctions in many languages including Spanish, French, Portuguese, and Italian. It is a fundamental part of the ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1) character encoding set and is also included in most modern text encodings such as UTF-8 and UTF-16. The LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH ACUTE plays a significant role in ensuring accurate language representation, thereby contributing to the clarity and precision of digital communication across various linguistic contexts. This character is typically used within digital texts to accurately transcribe and convey spoken sounds in languages that use acute accents. Its usage underscores the importance of cultural sensitivity and attention to detail in digital text encoding and presentation. The LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH ACUTE belongs to the Latin-1 Supplement Unicode block (U+00A0 to U+00FF), which serves a variety of text formatting and typography purposes, extending the basic Latin character set for improved readability and overall appearance of text documents.
