==Usage==
<code><nowiki>{{UTF-8|code point|base=}}</nowiki></code>

Takes a single Unicode code point and returns the UTF-8 byte encoding.

'''Code Point''' - a Unicode code point scalar value, without the "U+".

'''Base''' - template returns UTF-8 bytes in upper case hexadecimal by default. '''Base''' = ''Dec'' or ''10'' outputs decimal values for UTF-8 bytes. '''Base''' = ''LChex'', ''LC16'', ''Lower Case Hex'', or ''Lower Case 16'' will output hex codes in lower case.

All inputs are case insensitive.

==Examples==
* <nowiki>{{UTF-8|1bc15}}</nowiki> = {{UTF-8|1bc15}}
* <nowiki>{{UTF-8|bc15}}</nowiki> = {{UTF-8|bc15}}
* <nowiki>{{UTF-8|715}}</nowiki> = {{UTF-8|715}}
* <nowiki>{{UTF-8|15}}</nowiki> = {{UTF-8|15}}
* <nowiki>{{UTF-8|715|base=LChex}}</nowiki> = {{UTF-8|715|base=LChex}}
* <nowiki>{{UTF-8|715|base=dec}}</nowiki> = {{UTF-8|715|base=dec}}

==Technical==
This template makes use of the following sub-templates:

* {{tlx|UTF-8/main}} - calls other sub templates, based on options and the format of the UTF-8 sequence
* {{tlx|UTF-8/1}} - the last byte of multi-byte UTF-8 sequences, and the only byte of a single-byte UTF-8 sequence.
* {{tlx|UTF-8/2}} - the first byte of two-byte sequences, and second to last of 3- and 4-byte UTF-8 sequences.
* {{tlx|UTF-8/3}} - the first byte of three-byte sequences, and the second byte of 4-byte UTF-8 sequences.
* {{tlx|UTF-8/4}} - the first byte of four-byte sequences.

This template is dependent on the following transcluded templates:

* {{tlx|hex2dec}}
* {{tlx|hexadecimal}}

and the magic words / parser functions '''padleft:''', '''#ifexpr:''', '''#expr:''', '''#switch:''', '''uc:''', and '''lc:'''.
