Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ś has the Unicode code point U+015B. 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+015B to binary:
00000001 01011011. 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:
11000101 10011011

Description
U+015B, or Latin Small Letter S with Acute, is a character commonly used in digital text for various purposes. This letter is part of the Extended Latin (ISO/IEC 8879) subset of Unicode, which encompasses Latin-script characters from many languages and regions. In typography, the acute accent symbol (´) is placed over the lowercase letter "s" to create this character. The acute accent generally indicates a change in pronunciation or meaning in certain languages. For instance, in Portuguese and Spanish, the "á", "é", "í", "ó", "ú", "ü", and "ñ" are pronounced differently from their unaccented counterparts, "a", "e", "i", "o", "u", "ü", and "n". The Latin Small Letter S with Acute (U+015B) is used in digital text to represent this distinct sound in these languages. Although not as widely used in English, it still holds significance for those studying or working with languages that utilize the acute accent for pronunciation purposes.
