Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character խ has the Unicode code point U+056D. 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+056D to binary:
00000101 01101101. 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 10101101

Description
U+056D is a Unicode character representing the Armenian Small Letter Xehan numeral (ԭ). It is commonly used in digital text within the Armenian language, which is spoken by approximately 7 million people worldwide, primarily in Armenia and the Armenian diaspora. This script is part of the Armenian runic alphabet developed around the 5th century AD by Mesrop Mashtots, a monk who aimed to standardize and simplify the written language. The character ԭ holds cultural significance as it plays an essential role in preserving and transmitting the unique history, literature, and identity of the Armenian people. In technical terms, U+056D is part of the block "Armenian (Extended)" within the Unicode Standard, ensuring its proper encoding and display across various digital platforms and devices.
