Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ü has the Unicode code point U+00FC. 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+00FC to binary:
11111100. 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+00FC, represented by the codepoint 00FC and char 'ü', is a significant component of digital typography, particularly in the German language and other languages such as Swiss German, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, and Dutch. This character, specifically known as LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH DIAERESIS, serves a unique purpose by distinguishing the specific pronunciation of the letter "u" that includes the diphthong sound represented by the diaeresis mark. It is important in phonetic and orthographic representation to ensure accurate pronunciation and clear communication in these linguistic environments. The Ü character is part of the Latin-1 Supplement Unicode block, which comprises characters ranging from 128 to 255. This block extends the basic Latin character set, providing essential symbols like pilcrows (◊) and en dashes (–) for proper formatting and presentation of written content. The Latin-1 Supplement block plays a crucial role in various applications, from professional documents to creative writing, ensuring clear communication and an aesthetically pleasing visual experience for readers.
