Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+05FF. 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+05FF to binary:
00000101 11111111. 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:
11010111 10111111

Description
U+05FF is a character in the Unicode standard, specifically designated as the "CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER SHCH". It is commonly used in various Slavic languages such as Russian, Bulgarian, and Serbian that use the Cyrillic script. This character represents the sound of the Russian letter "Щ", which is a combination of "Ш" (Sh) and "Ч" (Ch), both individual Cyrillic letters. In digital text, U+05FF plays a crucial role in enabling accurate transcription and representation of these languages online, facilitating communication and information exchange across different platforms and devices. The character's importance lies in preserving the cultural identity and linguistic integrity of the languages that utilize it, as well as enhancing interoperability within the global digital landscape.
