Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ճ has the Unicode code point U+0573. 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+0573 to binary:
00000101 01110011. 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:
11010101 10110011

Description
U+0573 is the Unicode for ARMENIAN SMALL LETTER CHEH, a typographic character from the Armenian script. In digital text, this character serves as an essential component of the Armenian alphabet, which has been in use since the 5th century. The Armenian script comprises 36 letters, including both uppercase and lowercase forms, and is unique for its phonetic correspondence with the spoken language. ARMENIAN SMALL LETTER CHEH specifically represents a voiceless palatal plosive sound (/c/) and holds an important role in the Armenian language's rich linguistic history. The Armenian script, along with U+0573, plays a significant part in preserving Armenia's cultural identity and heritage.
