Asymptotic variance of the empirical distribution function at a point

Let X1,…,XnX_1,\dots,X_n be iid observations from a continuous distribution F. Define the empirical cdf Fn(x)F_n(x). Then for any fixed xx, n(Fn(x)−F(x))⟶dZ\sqrt n(F_n(x)-F(x))\overset{d}{\longrightarrow} Z, where Z is a normal r.v.
with mean 0 and variance:
