Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character վ has the Unicode code point U+057E. 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+057E to binary:
00000101 01111110. 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+057E, the ARMENIAN SMALL LETTER VEW, is a crucial character in the Armenian script, which is used to represent the phoneme /v/ or /w/ in the Armenian language. As part of the ISO 10646 standard for encoding characters, it plays an essential role in digital text processing and representation, particularly in applications involving Armenian language support. The ARMENIAN SMALL LETTER VEW is typically used to transcribe words that begin with a voiced labiodental fricative or a voiced bilabial fricative sound, which are common phonemes in the Armenian language. It has no capitalized version since the Armenian alphabet does not differentiate between uppercase and lowercase letters. This character contributes to the rich cultural and linguistic heritage of Armenia by facilitating the accurate representation and transmission of written content in Armenian, both online and offline.
