Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0558. 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+0558 to binary:
00000101 01011000. 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 10011000

Description
U+0558 is a Unicode character representing the Cyrillic letter "Й" (YOITSEY). It plays a significant role in digital text, primarily within the Russian language and related Slavic languages that use the Cyrillic script. The letter "Й" serves as an important consonant in these languages, typically representing the voiced postalveolar fricative sound /ʒ/. In linguistic terms, its usage is vital for accurate transcription of words and phrases from Russian to other languages that rely on the Latin alphabet. From a technical perspective, U+0558 ensures consistency and uniformity in digital text representation across different platforms and devices, promoting clear communication and understanding among speakers of these languages.
