Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ս has the Unicode code point U+054D. 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+054D to binary:
00000101 01001101. 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+054D, the ARMENIAN CAPITAL LETTER SEH, plays a vital role in Armenian language typography and digital text representation. This Unicode character is an essential component of the Armenian alphabet, which dates back to the 5th century AD. The Armenian script is unique as it uses a combination of alphabetic and abjad elements, where vowels are generally not indicated within the letters themselves, but rather through diacritics above or below certain consonants. U+054D represents the Armenian equivalent of the English 'S', and is utilized to denote the voiceless postalveolar fricative sound /ʃ/ in written Armenian. The character is widely used in digital communication, word processing, and online content to accurately transcribe and convey Armenian language texts. In the context of cultural preservation, the ARMENIAN CAPITAL LETTER SEH contributes to maintaining linguistic integrity and facilitating accessibility for speakers and learners of the Armenian language in the digital age.
