Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ş has the Unicode code point U+015E. 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+015E to binary:
00000001 01011110. 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+015E, or Latin Capital Letter S with Cedilla, is a typographical character that holds significant importance within the realm of Unicode and digital text. This particular letter is an uppercase variation of the Spanish alphabet's "S" and is characterized by a cedilla, represented as a small vertical stroke under the letter's tail. The cedilla serves to distinguish this letter from the Latin Capital Letter S without cedilla (U+0053) in written texts. In digital text, the Latin Capital Letter S with Cedilla plays a crucial role in supporting linguistic diversity and accuracy, particularly for languages such as Spanish, Portuguese, and several other Romance languages that make use of the character in their alphabets. By incorporating this character into digital text platforms, it ensures proper representation and preservation of cultural and linguistic contexts. Moreover, from a technical standpoint, U+015E's inclusion within Unicode underscores the system's commitment to encompassing a wide range of characters and scripts necessary for global communication. As digital text continues to evolve and expand, the Latin Capital Letter S with Cedilla remains an essential component in facilitating accurate and culturally sensitive representation across diverse languages.
