Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ś has the Unicode code point U+015A. 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+015A to binary:
00000001 01011010. 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
U+015A, or Latin Capital Letter S with Acute, is a special character within the Unicode standard that plays a significant role in digital text for its unique representation of the letter 'S' in certain languages and contexts. This character is part of the Latin script and features an acute accent over the uppercase letter S, which visually distinguishes it from other similar letters in the alphabet. Its primary usage is in languages such as Galician, Asturian, Mirandese, and some regional dialects of Spanish, where the accented 'S' serves to indicate a distinctive pronunciation or sound when compared to the regular capital letter S without the acute accent. This character's inclusion in digital text enhances readability and ensures accurate communication for speakers and writers of these specific languages. In terms of cultural and linguistic context, U+015A contributes to the preservation and representation of regional identity and dialectal differences within these languages, allowing users to express themselves more accurately and authentically in digital environments.
